DIY POSTCARD - HOLIDAY SEASON

Hello Everyone, Its me again, Heron the big.boi.journal Instagram owner https://www.instagram.com/big.boi.journal/. Welcome to my 5th blog.

I going to show you the whole process on my DIY Postcard. Here we go :

STEP 1 - IDEA

Mood Board.

Generally I will arrange a get a visual and the item that I want to use and arrange it accordingly. It will give some combination or collage idea on how my postcard will be.

STEP 2 - BASE

Base Layer 1

For the base layer I choose Artfoamies Foam Stamp - Postal by Cat Kerr. Inked with the Delicata Brown Shimmer and the result is absolute outstanding. 

Base Layer 2

I am using Rubbermoon Esoteric Rubber Stamp by Sandra Evertson inked with the same Delicata Brown Shimmer. You can see how beautiful the stamp detail was.

STEP 3 - MAIN LAYERS

Stickers

Minimal number of sticker with striking color will be my main feature. Generally I have choose 2 major color. In this case as you can see the main color are Red & Green.

Stamps 

I choosing the 100 Proof Press - Wood Steel Square Key Stamp to give more impact in my collage.

Washi Tape

Simple vintage washi tape will give some writing element to my design. The green leaf will give color impact in decorating the whole postcard scheme. I am using vellum paper as additional layer stamped with Rubbermoon Rubber Stamp Sugar Doddy by Kea Pea. Stick it with red washi. I'll show you the result on final image. Stay tuned.

Vintage Postal Stamp

Move along...this postal stamp will give more aesthetic impact on my postcard. I put initial layer of washi underneath of the stamp.

STEP 3 - FINAL TOUCH

Stamps

You can use a lot of things as a final touch such as washi, small stickers, paper cutting, inks

and many more. I am choosing one of my favorite stamp for 100 Press Proof - Kennedy Half Dollar. Check out the detail. Love it.

FINAL STEP - EXTRA SMALL DETAIL

Extra Details

Most people generally neglected this steps. This step where you make you design more unique and complicate by add small detail to your design. I personally will use left over of the the thing that we use in the previous step. See...  zero waste practice.. :).
