Crazy Postcard for Terrie

Terrie doesn't know yet that she is getting a crazy postcard! It looks harmless enough, but how it got to be...was the crazy part! 
It all began with an recycled  insert from an art magazine..Innocent enough. A piece of wrapping tissue paper and some plain newsprint paper were sewn onto it...house paint was used to cover the back and then Duck tape over it...watercolor paper pieces for writing.
The front:  brown packing paper(recycled) for a heart, white copy paper hands.
The color applied is watercolor pastels, Sharpie lettering with silver paint pen outline and dots around the hands.All experimental but it worked out in the end!
