- This tutorial will walk you through how to create the background and basic elements for 8 postcards. Once the basics are done, you can customize each postcard with stamping, stenciling, doodling, etc.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea of using one big surface to create the initial design before cutting them up and individualizing them!! BRILLLIANT!
Thank you Lynnette! It's the fast, fun and easy way! :-)
I am late commenting, but have only now discovered your channel. Love your free, bold style. Thank you👍🎨😊
Thanks so much! Glad you found me!!
Your art is refreshing, loose and free. I think I will follow your lead!
Bernice Seigel I agree, love her relaxed, bold approach.👍
I love these, they are sooo pretty. xxxx
LOVE, love, love this video! You are a great teacher Betty! Thanks for sharing!
What a great tutorial! Thanks so much, Betty! I love the way you fashioned the template to use as a "view finder". So simple and so effective!
Thank you for watching Terri!
WOW ! Beautiful postcards . Thank you so much for showing your process - much appreciated ! Kind regards - Judi - Australia
I agree with you about commissions. For me it takes away from my wild creative side. That’s what people want. They are purchasing my pictures in my mind. ❤
Well said, Kathleen!
You're very creative! Thanks for sharing your process.
Many thanks! I had fun creating that!
Love these cards --- you inspire me . Thanks for sharing your talents with us !!!

What a brilliant idea! I love the postcards and your whole process of making them. Turquoise is such a great complimentary color with pinks, yellows and oranges. Thanks!

That's make me so happy to hear! Sometimes we just need to watch a few youtube videos to get us going again...I know it works for me!!
I love all those layers and colours! I'm thinking of trying this with my own photos as a form of scrapbooking.
Yes! It will work for art journaling of scrapbooking, too! Have fun!

Thank you so much for watching, Judi!
Betty, I love watching you and your work!!!! Congrats! ;)
I do, too...but being entirely honest, I find many of the Vogue models rather unattractive. Like your work, tho.
Love the color combination!!!
Thank you!
I really love these postcards! I am gonna give this a try!
This was super. Absolutely giving this a try when I get home to my art stash. Thanks for sharing the technique and your creativity.

You're welcome, Debra! I'm so glad it was helpful!

This was so fun to watch. I just started dabbling in mixed media and haven't found my style yet :) This was so inspiring!!

Yaay a fellow Vogue lover!
I have been wondering how to use these magazines.
Thank you!
The Vogue ones are the best. I just love the poses the models make! Thanks for watching, Liane!
What a brilliant idea, using the stampin' up catalog for those images! I have one sitting about, out of date, but haven't brought myself to throw it away. Now I'm glad I didn't.
Love these, Betty! :)
Just subscribed. Beautiful work. Beyond inspiring. Thank you for sharing this. I am also called Mystic Pencil so seeing a name as beautiful as Mystic Tulip Art brings me great joy! Totally love your videos :)
Love your name, Mystic Pencil! :-) Thank you for subscribing! - Betty
Thank you, Betty! I shall be having a go at this!
great video THank you so very much for sharing, awesome
Amazing art! ♥
Thanks for this, I really enjoyed it. I love playing around with collage too. I have found I get the least wrinkles if I lightly spritz the front of the clipping with water before gluing it down. Then I brush a little medium over the top and gently rub over with my fingers. I find Golden soft gel works really well for this.
Yes, I have tried the Golden soft gel and it works so much better than matte medium. Thank you!
So fun, Betty. Thank you!! Try putting the medium on the back of the picture AND the surface then scrape it down with old credit card or brayer.
Thank you Judy! I have tried that method, too. When I scrape it with a credit card it usually takes off part of the magazine color. But, maybe I need to try again! :-)
Betty Franks, Mystic Tulip Art That makes sense. I could see it rubbing off.
LOVE this one !!
To collage easily, after you paste down magazine pieces, cover with paper towel and Breyer down flatly. It works well.
New subscriber :) I'm enjoying your videos. I love this idea
Even though I'm only seeing female comments I really like this. I created something along that style for a friend of mine. She liked it as well.
I loved creating these cards. I think anyone can create their own version based on what they love. Thanks, Hans!
Love the idea can’t wait to have a go
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you this is so inspiring!
Enjoyed your video.
Thank you for watching, Susan! I loved making this postcard!
Pretty cool Betty.
The last one in 3 pieces could be glued onto a thin backing board.
Great idea! Thanks for watching!
Totally love this, in fact, paper's on my desk, lots of color on it....... yours looks pretty, mine....... a big mess :( But I will go on and finish it!!!! Think I'm too much of a perfectionist!
Loved it !!!
very nice
Waw So beautiful
I had so much fun creating these! Thanks so much for watching!
thanks!
cool!
Brilliant THANKS
Thank you so much, Marthie!
Fabulous x
Thanks, Dianne!
Thank you, this was fun if a little fast! The end results are great - I liked the wrinkly woman and I also liked the cards you had not worked on. They looked plainer but edgier I thought. Would it be possible to include a list above of your materials with manufacturers' names? Just a thought.
I appreciate you watching the video! I created it back in 2014, so unfortunately, I don't have access anymore of the materials I used.
What did you use for stick the items?
Really super postcards. I love the colors. I was wondering, how do you finish off the back of them ??
doreen badger Hi Doreen! For the back, I just add a stitching-type stamp to divide the area between where I write a message and where I put the address. Sometimes there's paint on that side, but I don't mind. It's all part of the look! :-)
Très jolie 👍
Many thanks!
AAAHHH...fab
Wow!! I’m definitely going to try this! Now what would you use them for?
I mailed them to friends. Have fun!
It would be nice if you included the names of the products/pens/inks etc that you used in the 'show more' section. You mention kristy/christie/christy ...??? but love your technique and tute, thank you!
Good idea Sue! I'll need to remember that. I believe I was referring to Christy Tomlinson: christytomlinson.typepad.com/christytomlinson/2011/02/scarlet-lime-shop-and-she-art-workshop-q-a-s.html
Love your work! I have one question - what about copy right? If you just use it for personal use, I assume there is no problem but if you were to sell them, is there?
Hi Dolores! I apologize for the delayed response to your question. You are right, since this was for personal use, there are not copyright issues.
I live mixed media in my journals.
Wonderful! Thank you for watching!
oh my goodness. they came out great. Thanks so much for the fun tutorial. Will have to give this a try. Have a great day! hugs, :o)
Thank you Maria!!
Hi Betty
Have you stopped doing mixed media now? I still watch your journalling pages often but cant get them up today for some reason.
Jane
Hi Jane! I am no longer doing mixed media (since 2015), but all my videos on my youtube channel are still up and available for viewing. Maybe there was a glitch on the day you tried. Thanks for watching them!

One of my old favorites! Thanks, Raye!
wonderfull ! can u share the name of the material you used ?
thank's
Et bravo de France !
Hi Anna! Thanks for watching. I created this many years ago. I'm sorry, but I don't have a list of the materials I used.
do you sell bundles of postcards or are you using these for promotional purposes?
Hi Shannon! I made these just for fun. I mailed them to friends and family. Thanks for watching!
how large would each postcard be ? I have a 9 x 12 sheet, so wondering how many sections I should divide mine into ? Thank you.
Good question! I would cut out a piece of 4x6" paper as a template and then you can move it around to mark where to cut. Thanks for watching!
@@BettyFranksArt thank you! ok gonna do it!
@@LadyJaneG Have fun creating!!
💗👍👀
Many thanks, Raye!

what are these cards for?
Hi Lora! I was just having fun creating. The cards were used to mail to friends. I really enjoyed making them!
I'm watching for the umpteenth time and it dawns on me that you aren't putting any medium on the back of the magazine pictures. If you put medium on your water color paper AND on the back of the pics, you won't have any wrinkles. :)
