I instantly loved this card when I got it. The Mighty Oaks of Barlow created it for a mixed media swap and I think she did a fantastic job. The front of the card features a cut out image of dog's face which on its own would not be immediately eye catching; but, when layered over a patterned paper and given dimension with a fabric bow and foam glasses with tinted lenses this dog becomes a real person of interest on this card!
The back of the card is a real treat too! A Gelli Plate was used along with stencils to make a really cool mono print. The red and blue colors you see are actually paint which was mono printed onto the paper for a really artistic effect. I have to admit seeing this card really made me want to purchase a Gelli Plate and do some experiments of my own.
The Mighty Oaks of Barlow started letterboxing when a friend introduced her to the hobby. She was instantly captivated by the combination of hiking, clue solving and artistry. MOB soon introduced Wildflower Meadow to the hobby and starred hosting events as well. A fellow boxer by the name of Mumble met MOB at a few events and introduced her to LTC's. Frykitty helped fuel this aspect of the hobby with some shared tips and tricks and a LTC maker was born! I really love MOB's cards and am so glad she enjoys making them. It's so fun to see each persons individual artistic style and learn from their contributions to the hobby.
