Postcard side 1

Stamps:
Lace border - Unknown
Bird - Kaisercraft Bonjour
Sentiment - Gina K

Ink: Archival Jet Black
Coloring: Derwent Metallic Watersoluble pencils

Watercolor paper from Canson

I think this photo emphasizes the flaws in the card, I do think it looks great in person.

I "mitered" the corners of the lace border stamp using washi tape to mask off one side at a time. I then stamped the image and sentiment and colored with my pencils. The blue portion was accomplished by coloring heavily on a piece of scrap cardstock and then picking up the color with my waterbrush.

I meant to try Bristol Board for this, but I picked up the wrong paper pad. Whoops.

LOL, Heidi! Screw the flaws 'talk'! Rolling Eyes The first thing I liked was your mitered edging. Like this view of your postcard, pal!

I don't see any flaws here at all. I like your blue background, the saying, and the bird. Thank you for sharing.
