Yesterday, I talked about signing up for iHanna’s 2013 Spring DIY Postcard Swap.
I received my second postcard today!
This comes from Marrianna from Red Dancer Studio.
It says “Flowers were at my mother’s assisted living Easter party. 3/31/13”
I love it!
I think it’s really special that Marrianna incorporated a treasure from her life into her postcard art. I am reminded of holidays spent with relatives in assisted living and nursing homes. These situations are often bittersweet – which makes these moments all the more precious!
Yellow is one of my favorite colors. The background paper looks like a sort of tribal sun design to me. It complements the roses nicely.
I am so in love with stitching in postcard pieces. The texture is great to touch. I would like to use some stitching in my future pieces.
Thank you so much, Marrianna!

As for what I made:
Here are two of the postcards that I created.
They are inspired by the Lilac Festival we have here in Rochester, NY in May.
I used mixed media paper, acrylic paint, scrapbook paper, washi tape, mod podge, and Uni Ball Vision Elite black pen.
I can’t wait to see what comes next!
