Time to post my art cards!

It has been so much fun taking part in  ihanna's DIY art card swap and I have thoroughly enjoyed putting these cards together - so now we have to part ways and hopefully the recipients enjoy receiving them in the mail. I can't wait to get mine - I will be checking my mailbox regularly!

Here are the pics of my cards. The names of the recipients are underneath each one.

Do you have a favourite?


Luci - USA

Urska - Slovenia

Greta - USA

Shannon - Canada

Kathyrn - USA

Carroll - USA

Samantha - WA

Stephanie - USA

Naomi - USA

Bev - USA

    Beautiful postcards! Although I like them all, I'd have to say the "Australia" one going to Luci is my favorite. Love the blues and the quote! Great job and thanks for sharing your postcards!

    Oh no! How are you going to let them go?! They are so lovely. If they were mine, I would want to frame them but I guess you get to keep the ones that you receive in the post? V xo

    They are all lovely. I agree with Arielle - Australia is my favorite. Wish it was coming to my mailbox! Ivy

    These are such cool cards! I particularly love the last one. And putting the names of the people to whom they are going is just a brilliant idea.

    I really like the way you use the text on your cards - and that they are bright a cheerful - full of sunshine!

    Your postcards are delightful! The second PC, would be my favorite because of the quote.

    It is fun making the cards but I agree with you, waiting by the mail box each day to find your cards from all over the world is the best.

      I agree Cyndee Starr - if mine are all coming from overseas - I think I'll have a bit of a wait - Australia is a long way away from the rest of the world!

    I do believe I am your first lucky recipient! Thank you for the beautiful card with the lovely, and very timely for me, message of "Nurture U"! It was interesting reading about your process of making your cards, thanks for writing about it and showing pics.

    I'm going to put the postcard up on my mood board to enjoy! Thanks again, Yvonne!

    Hi Yvonne, Blogger ate my last attempt at writing this, so I'll try again as Anonymous....
    It's Sam(antha) from WA here and I think I am the first lucky recipient of one of your gorgeous cards. I love the rainbow colours and the beautiful sentiment of "Nurture U" -- very timely for me! It was interesting to read about your process in creating the cards.

    I hope you keep on with your daily creativity habit, this is something I try to do myself -- I must say it's my most favourite part of the day when I relax with whatever art or craft project I'm doing, and just play.

    Thanks again, Yvonne!

      Hi Sam - thanks for your kind words! I am so pleased you like the card - I think it is a very important sentiment 'Nurture U' and something we tend to forget often. Thanks for your encouragement about my daily creativity habit - it is a bit of a struggle some days - but each day is a new one and I keep trying! Thanks again Sam!
