another new (to me) challenge site

the other day, while aimlessly web-surfing (something i don't do enough!) i found a cool site called sunday postcard art. they set a new theme every week (on sunday, obviously) and you can use any medium or style in your interpretation, the only requirement is that your finished piece of art be 4x6"...the size of a standard (continental) postcard. cool, no?! as a postcard collector AND papercrafter, i was intrigued just by the concept, even before i knew that this week's theme is INDIA!!! :)


(elephant illustration from a vintage children's book; text from a hindi newspaper; glossy cardstock images from an old anahata katkin clip art book; bo bunny patterned paper; lil davis vinyl letter stickers; making memories flowers; k&co jewelled brad; core-dinations cardstock; adhesives: uhu gluestick, tombow monorunner, 3m foam tape)

there's a mix of old and new here... (which is quite like INDIA, come to think of it!) ...and i am pretty pleased with the results! plus i cannot help thinking that my HEART the ART journal pages will benefit by my working more often in the 4x6 format! ♥

  9. Love the fabulous dimension you achieved with the placement of the different elements ... It looks like the elephants could just walk right off the postcard ... fan-tas-tic.
