Mail Art

Nearly caught up on Journal 52! This journal page is for the theme of Mail Art. I struggled to find my starting point with this one! But after a bit of searching I decided to use two stamps as my focal point and extend the image on the stamp using watercolours. I started by collaging a background in quite neutral colours, stuck the stamp images down, stamped a few mail inspired stamps & then created a colourful wash extension of the colours and patterns in the stamps.
