The current theme on the Flickr Art 'n' Soul challenge group
is to make a collaged postcard from any material but it must have on it somewhere something metal.
Last week I found an unusual postcard in a charity shop,
a wooden one!

| Back |
The background is a combination of acrylic paint and Distress crackle paint.
The word 'wish' is a rub on and the floral flourish a rubber stamp.
I added a bit of old text top and bottom
and edged with some metallic rub on paste.
I finished it off with a shabby bow with the metal flower in the centre.
Here's the back
I've never attempted one of these collaged postcards before
and am pleased with how it turned out.
It measures three and half inches by five and half so it's slightly smaller than the challenge calls for.
Maybe I'll be keeping it after all!

Beautiful postcards Sherry. I've been playing with purple crackle paint this week! Hope you are well. It's seems way too long since I last called..off to catch up with your wonderful creations. Hope you have a lovely Easter.xx
the front side of the card totally reminds me of the book "where the wild things are", one of my favorite books...
great alteration you made with your wonderful find!
An amazing find Sherry, I have never seen a wooden postcard before or even dreamed there might be such a thing!
I think you must keep this one as you've made it just too lovely to let it out of your house!
Glad your back is a bit better now, so is mine, the chiropractor is obviously helping but the short regular walks are also making a difference plus the stretching exercises she's given me.
More gorgeous sun today for us :-)
