I know, that's weird.
This is actually a postcard. I made it by layering a bunch of 4x6" pieces of newspaper together, giving each sheet a good coating with a glue stick, and using a brayer to get it nice and smooth. Then once it was done, I think with 8 or 9 layers, nice and thick, I put it under a heavy book overnight so it would end up nice and flat. Of course once I threw cheap craft paints at it, it did curl slightly. That's okay though - I really wasn't going for the perfect look here. The edges are raggedy and the paint is splotchy and the lines aren't even, and I KINDA LIKE IT.
Now. Who shall I send it to??
Love Shelley!
count me in on the weird, because i struggle with valentines day, too. but, you're definitely one step ahead of me because you've already created this super cute card!! that's a great idea using newspaper as your base!! :))
