After yesterdays questionable gap fiasco, I couldn't stop thinking about this technique all day.
Coming home, I looked through my photos and decided to make one based around a long stemmed thistle. The idea was to make use of the split between labels, which meant that the labels had to be angled, so this time I chose to leave the labels intact.
You won't be able to see it unless you receive the card, but the sticker to the left was corrected. I initially wanted to sketch in the trees in the background, but decided against it. The nice thing about using address labels to build up the effect is that I only had to stick another label on top of my mistake and voila - Good as new!

Are you freehanding the drawings, or are you able to trace them through the sticker?

I use tracing paper. I trace the outline, flip it over, then redraw the outline on the other side then rub onto the labels. Finish off with fineliner pen
