postcard challenge

wk 47 Jamaica..so close to the end now.

Poor effort from me this week, I am rushed off my feet insanely busy preparing for a demo in Saturday, so i only just managed to do my card..

I decided to do the iconic Bob Marley, and looked through his album covers. This is my versions of a couple that I found mixed together.

I stencilled the 3 colours of the flag in the background to make the wall, doodled around the bricks and then printed out a picture of Bob. I cut out parts of it to make it into a stencil, and then used the paper stencil to sponge black ink onto the card.

I added the words using Safmat..



HERE IS WHERE YOU LINK UP...please only link up if you are taking part in the postcard challenge..

Oct winner announced on Sunday and hopefully after the demo I can get back to visiting all your lovely blogs, I have missed seeing them.

    I can't believe we are getting close to the end of our journey. I have enjoyed the journey with everyone and amazed at the information I have learned. Thanks Darcy.
