So this is the process that was involved in making it. On Monday my friend introduced me to print making - which I had never tried before. I made a simple collage using this process, with one piece of yellow tissue paper and drew some fantastical flowers on the reverse allowing the black ink to create splodgy lines - I guess spring is here - I really was inspired by this very quick image. I guess this is the bit where I was innovative with paper within my postcard design.
I scanned, traced and added texture gradient and transparency in illustrator and printed out on cream card.
I chose a font that looked like fingerpainting - fun and splodgy I also added what create means to me - repeat being really important to me
I raided my stash of ribbons and buttons carefully selecting those that I thought added to the spring theme. The crochet was chosen to give it a celebratory bunting spring fair feel. the silver to convey rain and dew. the green reminds me of spring leaves on the trees and the purple/white is the crocus/snowdrop
