Postcard update....

I have completed 4 of my 10 postcards for the Postcard exchange - but iHanna's site is still down and I haven't registered yet - today is the last day to do that.  Hopefully she will extend the deadline since it's not been possible to join the exchange for almost 2 days now. 

I am having a lot of fun creating these and I hope I get the opportunity to send them off in the mail.....

"Joy" approx. 4"x6"

"Amaze" approx. 4"x6"

"Inspire" approx. 4"x6"

"Shine" approx. 4"x6"

  1. maybe i'll be lucky and receive one of your beautiful postcards. thank you for your comment about my doodle postcards. i started with zentangles but got really frustrated with the precise shapes so gradually got away to a more free design. it's more me, and i love doing them.

    1. Thanks for stopping by Moni! The postcard swap has been wonderful for me - creating the cards in a smaller format that I am used to has challenged me.

  5. What beautiful postcards - I LOVE the backgrounds especially. Did you draw the flowers yourself or are they stamped? They are lovely also. I hope you have now been able to sign up for the swap as Hanna's blog is back up and running....

    1. The larger flowers are hand drawn and painted - but the smaller flowers are gel transfers of my photos. I have been able to sign up for the swap - lucky for me Hanna extended the sign up date!! thanks so much!

  6. Emily, such pretty pretty postcards. How great that we think alike you and me: you signed up the minute the site was back and I then extended the period! So glad you joined, thanks!
