ATCs For All - Postage Stamps #2


I love stamps, collect them madly, very rarely put them in my albums though - too busy making cards!!!
I sorted out some good ones and floated them off the paper.  
I wanted to use some watercolour backgrounds so applied some Cosmic Shimmer blue powder added to my paint.

I painted a dark sky and added a 'nebula' stamp to the centre of the card.  It looked a bit bare so I added a touch of gold and silver dots and really glammed it up with some glitter!!!

I painted the ground round the portrait card and then decided that the card needed to be landscape to fit the stamp so made another card.  Two stamps from India, se-tenant (joined side by side) were perfect for this card.

A stamp from New Zealand portrayed road signs so I had to paint a road and then add traffic!  A motor bike and a mini car from England were perfect.

Definitive stamps from England looked just like traffic lights so I painted a street scene in the rain.  The stamps attached straight down the middle of the card needed some black pen work to turn them into 'lights'!!
