Postcard Challenge 2012

Here we are week 3. I am really looking forward to seeing all your postcards from Brazil.

Here is mine.

This is how the page looks in my book, it is an envelope with the flap cut off.

the trees were lightly sketched then coloured with black acrylic ink.

Here with the card inside... the outside edge is just a thin wash of watercolour with a doodled line around done using a stabilo pencil.

The front of my card with carnival girl. She is super,super sparkly, it just doesn't show well on camera.

She is hand drawn onto very smooth card, then coloured with promarkers. The glitz was added using sparkly gel pens that were in a set i got from the supermarket. if you are in the uk , ASDA, I think they were £3.60 for a pack of 30 pens, some regular, some metallic and some sparkly. I wasn't sure how well they would work, as they are not a named brand like sakura or signo...but they actually work really well. a really cheap way to add sparkle.

I drew the feathers in last with prisma pencils..

and finally the back....what is it these 2 are up to i wonder...hmmm
