It's time for the
Artistic Outpost Design Team Blog Hop!!! Our challenge this month was to use either the
Huck Finn or
Route 66 stamp sets. I choose the latter, and decided to do a postcard, just like I did with my
On The Texas Road Again...hmmm, I'm feeling a a postcard theme set starting to take shape.
Don't forget to visit all the other AO Design Team's blogs and take a gander at their ultra cool creations. These gals have amazing talent and creativity galore!

| I stamped the map image with Pumice Stone Distress Ink several times Specialty Stamping Paper. |
 |
| I stamped the other images onto this map paper using Jet Black Archival Ink, colored them in with Distress Markers, and then cut them out. |
 |
| A added water to Claudine's Gesso to thin it out a bit, and then brushed it onto Tim's Destinations paper to tone down the images a little, so mine would not be lost. I did this twice, and wished I would have only done it once...it's a little too toned down. |
 |
| Here is the before and after the Gesso. |
 |
| I stamped the other images from the plate onto the background paper with Jet Black Archival. I adhered this to white cardstock, giving it a border now. |
 |
| I added back a little color when I stamped my last image from the plate, a Saguaro Cactus, in Lettuce Adirondack Pigment Ink. |
Supplies:
From My Stash: white cardstock
I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!
