I love how you made these clouds look so vibrant, and the highlights on the water.

I turned my boring white envelope into something lovely using scrap paper. Now need more scrap paper because I don’t have any such nice magzine and ad paper :sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

One more :

@Sasquatch both were made using the scarp paper I won as part of your lottery.

Made a few cards, a watercolor birthday card for a friend that likes dolphins (I thought by myself how hard can it be?! It was much more difficult than expected, 16 dolphins later and this was the result)


Also a friend of mine moved a while back and I made a card for him with the text ‘a new house’ in Dutch.
On the back side a bible verse made with watercolor

Edit: photo was upside down

I saw this idea on Youtube and had to draw it. I think I will be returning to this topic that combines two of my interests :smile:

I painted a building that I really like on my college campus, cut the watercolor into four pieces, and then sent each as a Postcrossing postcard. On their own, each piece doesn’t make much sense. But I gave instructions for finding photos of the other pieces once they arrive, so I’m hoping that each person who receives one of the pieces has some fun looking up the others on Postcrossing. (Hopefully none of them are looking here! That would spoil the fun a little.)

I’ve made a few handmade postcards with watercolor and colored pencil. This one I’m mailing today.


Below it one in colored pencil.

I tend to do fruit, vegetables and flowers on the postcards.
