Created for the Sunday Postcard Challenge where the theme is Black & White. I started by covering matt cardstock with an old book page, then painting it with a layer of gesso. Next I placed a Tim Holtz mask down the right hand side, and sponged black ink over it. I also sponged black ink around the remaining 3 edges of the card, then broke it up a bit by adding a little more gesso in random places. I stamped a wrought iron railings stamp at the top and the base of the card, then applied a collage image. Two black metal keys were added to embellish, and the text was stamped and added to finish.
