This week's theme at Sunday Postcard Art is monochromatic. It's a bit funny that I ended up going green, because green is not one of my favorite colors! However, the end result of this postcard feels very peaceful to me. I used decorative paper, handdrawn leaves, various markers and watercolor crayons, and featured the Little Church stamp designed by Roc Nicholas.
I also used a strip of a painted page that i had on hand, and I placed it on the ground behind the church. I selected it just because the color worked, and I wanted to add some visual interest.
When I neared the end of the creative process, I started adding in shading with pan pastels. And it was then that I noticed that the text right near the Little Church says "great cathedral." I love when an art project comes together like that, especially when it's not intentional. I take it as it's meant to be.
Green isn't my favourite colour either, but I love your card. It's wonderful !
