Nature Part 2

In case you missed the first part from yesterday, you can view it here.  Since Bleubeard and I are hosting Art Journal Journey this month, we are Counting our blessings. Nature is one of those blessings we should never take for granted.

Much like yesterday, I first laid out the postcards to see how they would fit on the page.

Once again, I created my background using my favorite handmade shimmering mist.  While it was drying, I painted white card stock using browns and orange watercolor crayons.  When dry, I glued the card stock to the back of the postcard and ruffled the edges using my scissors.

I stretched cheesecloth across the back of the postcard and added fibers and threads from my pile of saved threads.

These were all glued to more dark brown corrugated cardboard I cut to size.

For this side. I added the sentiment I colored using my watercolor crayons, and layered cheesecloth and threads on top of more corrugated cardboard.  Each assembly was glued to the background.

This took a long time to construct each assembly,

but I was quite happy with the outcome.

Then it was time to put both sides together.   I was very happy with how it turned out, even if it took a long time to create.

Bleubeard and I are once again grateful you joined us and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey.
