I'm still making postcards to send to my dad and brother during lockdown. I managed to forget to photograph last week's (featuring big fat bees) but remembered this week - butterflies to celebrate the little critters being back out in force in our garden and along the lane.
The usual postcard etiquette is at play here - single layer, no embellishments so there's no risk of anything coming loose and messing up sorting equipment etc. A bit of drop shadow on the big butterfly, done with a couple of grey markers, gives the design an illusion of depth.
Stamps:
Wings (Darkroom Door)
Paper:
Bristol board
Ink:
Brilliance by Tsukineko (Graphite Black)
Shadow ink by Hero Arts (Soft Granite)
Tim Holtz Distress Oxide by Ranger (Twisted Citron)
Other:
Copic markers
Cressida stencil (Memory Box)
Corner Chomper
Thanks for stopping by, hope you are staying safe and well.

love this card - butterfly is beautiful keep safe
These are lovely - stunning how that orange butterfly seems just about to lift off the card.
Great bit of shading! It does look like depth.
Maybe one of them can take a pic and send it to you of the bee one. I would like to see that.
Spring is one way for us to remember in time all things bloom again...as we all will
