Postcard Number 11 In #gelypostcardplay

 

Afternoon Crafty Peoples! Hope you are all feeling roaring fit! Here's my next postcard in #Ceri The Crafter's, #Gelypostcardplay, Number 11. This is nothing like I was going to do for number 11... I was thinking bingo and legs 11, with lots of colour etc, but I started playing with that pile of posh tissus paper, which I'd cleaned my brayers on and pulled off extra paint from the geliplates,and began playing with it.  

I tried covering different cards with it, couldn't really see the gelprint through the tissue very well. Then just ripped around the red splodges. Mmmm, I thought, they could be flowers heads. On one of my already painted postcards, I'd stenciled a sun and what could be a moon. So, I just stuck the red tissue bits randomly on with decopatch, (which is why it's a bit shiny) circled around them using a Sharpie, Promarkers, and some Posco pens. I added a tissue bumble bee too, but because the background was black, you couldn't really see it. So! I hunted out my Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady books, and now that I have more than one, I'm definitely going to make some journals with them. I've been watching Miss Paintalot and Camelia Crafts make theirs.

Anyway, I digress, I ended up covering the tissue bee with an Edward one. You can still see the sun through the tissue, and I was thinking, the sun, plenty of flowers to make honey with, is all a little bee wants in life. The number 11 was cut out of a gardening pamphlet and framed with a tiny bit of dark geli-print. Off now to start number 12! Thank you for stopping by!
