I'm enjoying playing with colours that I seem to have forgotten about or potentially not worked with previously, baseball nut as an ice cream is vanilla and dark raspberries with a hint of pale beige (being the nut bit) so that was my base.

WEEK 3 - SUMMER OF COLOUR - BASEBALL NUT
Morning one and all, I finished off the mail art yesterday for Week 3's challenge on Summer of Colour - head over to Twinkle Twinkle to find out more, as suspected I'm now creating sets of mail art which by the time the challenge finishes will mean I have 36 pieces of mail art to send to people, now I'll just need a long list of people who'd actually like to receive one!

And these altogether look like
Once again I managed to use images that I've had an absolute age and never thought I'd get to use which is brilliant can't wait to see what ice cream we get for week 4 - I'm going to be really sad when this challenge stops?

Boy! You nailed another color set! The backgrounds all look so appetizing (even when relating to blood). My favorites are the ballerinas and the mail art ones. I think it's hard enough to pull off one for the challenge, but you blow me away that you can come up with so many!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I'd ever heard of "baseball nut" but it's a great colour combo!
ReplyDeleteLoving the mail art.....hint, hint.....lol!
Hugs xx
This is a beautiful colour combo and yet again you've totally nailed it with your gorgeous Mail Art, Virginia. If I was to choose a favourite (which is difficult because they are all brill), I would pick the first one which, for me, is particularly striking. It'll cost a fortune to send all these, yikes!!

OMG these are more gorgeous than the last set!!! Do you work straight onto the postcard? or make the art and then print a photo onto the card? Would be a lovely way to keep in touch with friends :D XXX
ReplyDeleteGreat idea with the cards, I have been busy making grungy postcards over the weekend, too - fun. Love how the different images look so good on the coloured background! Valerie
ReplyDeleteWonderful mail art, terrific work. Happy SOC, Annette x
ReplyDeleteSiper again, love the top one best. BJ
ReplyDeleteI am impressed with your use of things you have on hand. It's the perfect way to go and works great for the challenge. I can't believe you will be sending 36 of these to people. That would break my postage budget for a year (grin).
ReplyDeleteWow - fabulous work - I love each piece - the backgrounds are beautiful and I love the images you chose - works really well as a set. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteAm shaking me head here and am in a fit of jealous rage (Ok maybe not rage but a definite jealous tizz) at your talent! How you use the same colour palette but they are all so different and so fabulous. I laughed aloud - seriously - at the vampire one!
ReplyDeleteanother fabulous set
