I find it interesting to follow new trends in the scrapbooking and papercrafting field. One format that I've seen popping up recently is the post card: 4x6 and mailable. The current challenge at the Creative Therapy art journaling site is to create a post card. There's also a challenge blog called "Sunday postcards" which has all kinds of interesting challenges. I know I saw a postcard challenge somewhere but can't remember where. In any event, I made some postcards using the Tim Holtz dabber resist technique to fulfill the current Compendium of Curiosities challenge over at Linda's Studio L3 blog. I used three stamps from the Tim Holtz "Urban Chic" set for the background and two other Tim phrase stamps. The cut outs are from a 12x12 pad of paper I bought (maybe from Kaiser Craft, but I don't remember for sure).
One of these postcards will be going into a pocket in an altered book layout I'm working on. The theme of the altered book is "Road Trip," and I'm going to jot a message to my art friend about how art is definitely a journey, and I'm glad that it's a road trip we're taking together.

any of these would be such a treat to receive in the mail! i like the idea of making something 'functional' like a postcard.
I have just picked out a book about mailing things for next months Pass The Book! but ssh! don't tell lol. I'll be checking out that challenge site too. Your cards are fabulous.
These are gorgeous! I love that background, I shall have to try the technique myself :-)
Gorgeous!!! I love snail mail. Items like these would be treasured.
beautiful cards!!
Love your postcards which are very cool! The images and colors are fabulous together.
Well, you've take a trend and made it fabulously yours, Rinda! These postcards are sensational, and you utilized the CCC technique beautifully. What a gorgeous set these make-- I'd be hesitant to mail them and and more inclined to hang them as a group on a prominent living room wall!
Great job!
