ARTFUL TIMES CHALLENGE #15 FUR OR FEATHERS

Artful Times  is a new challenge blog - have you checked them out yet?  A new challenge every second week.  This time it is Fur or Feathers (or both).  I have chosen both.   Still immersed in Halloween, it's like this every year LOL  I will do Halloween until it's past and then have trouble letting go.

I picked up this little metal stand a couple of years ago at a favourite local gift store.  It's easy to change the postcard for the season.  The vintage card is part of a set I purchased from Vintage Image Craft.

I particularly liked the mauve black shadows on this image and played that up with a mauve printed background.  I covered the entire piece with "sugar beads" and then highlighted the black mat with purple Stickles.  Played up the same shades on my vintage style chenille figure.

  1. Fantasic postcard Sandi. The colours and images look terrific. Your postcard stand was a real find and also the setting for your photograph makes it look special.

    Love Chrissie xxxx
