Postcard Swap

I have just begun to delve into the world of pen pals and postcard swaps after many years being away.  It has been a blast corresponding via Postcrossing.  I have read about swaps and was interested in participating, but am more than a little intimidated after seeing the wonderful works of art that others produce.  I do not have any talent for drawing or painting.  So I was happy to run across iHanna's Autumn Swap which was limited to 5 cards. One of my goals in completing this swap was to use what I had on hand.  The cardboard is from boxes.  I used acrylic craft paint, stickers, washi tape and decoupaged paper.  I hope they make it through the mail okay and brighten up someone's day!

    Your postcards looks great, I'm so glad you joined us! I love recycling and finding materials that you can use in new ways so this post makes me happy. That's often what I do too.

    I don't know why you said that you have no talent for drawing or painting: your postcards are lovely. :-)
    I love the way you worked with typography.

      I enjoy working with words--I think that may be my style. This has been so much fun to explore. There are so many options!
