Handmade greeting cards
Date: 2/18/2018 4:36:20 PM ( 6 y ago)
Friend and fellow artist LFIRE gifted me with a handmade sheet of acrylic "pour"; to me, the paint crackles and colors swirling about each other remind me of the ocean, sea anenomes and jellies.
Magazine images of coral and coral fish were added to the first card. The patterns on the second card looked so beautiful I didn't add anything else to it. Background paper is RHIMAX, a 100% recycled paper product.
Below: This little card is made of dried bougainvillea flowers on RHIMAX background; hand embroidery. The dried flowers are coated with matte acrylic glaze to protect them from cracking.
