sunday postcard ART #1

This is my first time participating in this challenge: Sunday Postcard ART. I kept hearing about it through a number of my friends and wanted to jump in! I love challenges, they keep me creative. This week's theme is Travel and here is my postcard.

I took a cool, old postcard with a winding road, layered a section of a map on the right and a piece of a paper napkin on the left - and then rubber stamped images directly on the postcard and separately, with VersaCraft ink. I hope you enjoy and I look forward to bringing you more challenge responses. Click for more detail.

Take the Second Floor challenge

"Every few weeks we will issue a challenge. Your assignment is to take that challenge and make some art. Here's the most important part: at some point you need to "take it to the second floor." What does that mean? It means trying something vastly out of your comfort zone. Doing something that might not work. Experimenting with a crazy idea. It's all about pushing yourself. If it works, awesome. If it doesn't work, awesome! If you want to participate publicly, we'll have a linky list for each challenge . . ." Read more by clicking on the image!
