  • Hello my Creatives!
    Today I am here to share a fun snail mail idea with you. I am making DIY Postcards with you today. I am doing them in a mixed media style, but you can also use just papers. Maybe I will do a process video like that in the future. I want to do a shout out to Leanne from Creativelyfree2Bme. She is the one that showed me the technique of working on a big piece of paper first and cut it down to smaller backgrounds. I recommend you go check out here RUclips channel: / creativelyfree2bme
    I hope you enjoyed watching this process and feel inspired to make your own postcards for your pen pals.
    Love, Kyra

    Gahhhhh!!!! What a spectacular process video!!!! Firstly, I was so excited to find you first on my YT watchlist today and then about three minutes in I was like: “wait, is she making my card...?!” As I kept watching, I realized I was indeed one of the proud recipients of one of these Mixed media cards! While the video captures the gorgeous layers and colors, I can attest to the gorgeous texture! Thank you so much for sharing (in more ways than one!) 🥰🥰

    I love these sooooo much. I know you said there's always an ugly stage - I feel like I can just never get past that stage with anything I do! But these are gorgeous and I really appreciate you making a video of this process. They are wonderful and I hope whoever you send them to appreciates them!

    • @KyraPace
      @KyraPace  4 года назад +1

      Thank you so much!! :D And I understand that it is hard. I had trouble with this when I started out a lot. But I found that when I wanted to give up and just worked on it, it got better. There was no more pressure to make it pretty because it was ready for the trash. And most times that made me more relaxed and I got through that ugly stage. I hope that this made any sense LOL. Thank you so much for watching and leaving me this comment :D. I loved reading it!

    • @KyraPace
      @KyraPace  4 года назад

      Dankjewel!! :D Hahaha ja dat is altijd een spannend moment. En bij echt een geval van nee, smeer ik er gewoon een laag gesso op en begin ik opnieuw. Ik gooi eigenlijk nooit iets in de prullenbak. Ik vind de uitdaging ook heel erg leuk om er nog wat van te maken ook als het niet zo gaat als ik had bedacht. Maar vaak is dat niet nodig :). Keep working it and all will be good LOL!
