so you've been noticing i've got a dictionary i've been pulling pages out of to create some postcards from home, right? i found this one page i thought the daughter might like - with the chemical elements. it has sortofa graphic appeal to me. And then i got something in the mail - i can't even remember what it was - that had this sweet little bird on it. for some reason i decided they'd look good together. i slapped that dictionary page down, then trimmed that bird from the page he was on and added him on top of that page. I took a little tim holtz distress ink in linen, then tea dye, and finished the whole thing off with some ultra-thick embossing powder - then cracked it. i'm rather pleased with the outcome.
i ended up mounting the whole thing on a card base - that UTE powder - well it kinda warps a bit - at least for me :-)
so i figured it was safer to send to my daughter as a card in an envelope - than to hope it would go thru the postal service as a postcard.
that's all for today. i've got something fun to post - at least i think so - but i've gotta wait til it's reached its destination :-) - don't wanna spoil the suprise.

YAY! Another fun card. I love all the distressing on this one. I hear ya on the warping. I find that happens on some stuff too and it really annoys me. That birdy is cute.
