The Added Touch of Self Laminating Sheets

 Jennifer McGuire suggested in her Post Card blog post that you can make your post cards look just like purchased ones by covering them with self laminating sheets. It was easy to do and it adds a nice touch. 

This is my first try using self laminating sheets. The beauty of this technique is that you can use various mediums for coloring without worrying if the colors will run if the cards get wet. 

This card was made using Copic markers. They are a water proof option. 

This next post card was colored using Zig markers. They aren’t water proof so I will definitely laminate it. 

I’m not happy with the way this post card turned out. I didn’t used watercolor paper. Instead I used 110 lb white card stock I wasn’t able to get the colors to blend and the coloring is very streaky. 

Now that I know how to laminate my post cards I will now try using colored pencils. 

It occurred to me yesterday that it would be helpful to add a list of supplies to my posts. I will start that with my next creation.
