The latest Australia Day/New Year Challenge entry has come in from Canadian Fiskateer Debbie Cornish....here's what Debbie had to say in an email to me today.... isn't this a fun creative project!!!
Hi Lyn,
Australia Day sounds like a wonderful day full of friendship and celebrations.
I don't live any where near Australia but would sure love to visit some day.
Attached are pictures of a keepsake postcard I make for Australia Day.
The front of the postcard is a map image of Australia.
I used a tissue type paper, tore the outline with my fingers to get the soft frayed edge and then ink the edge.
The map image shows a few events (swimming/fireworks) and locations of some celebrations.
The postage stamp shows the flag of Australia.
The postage stamp shows the flag of Australia.
The second picture is the backside of the postcard where you can do all your journalling.
Tools used were my fiskars paper trimmer,
my fiskars scalloped edge scissors for the postage stamp on the front and
for the journal edges I used the negative pieces (found under the punch) from my fiskars postage stamp border punch.
