Mixed media postcards and ATCs

Appears I'm always late to the party! :)  I was doing some serious surfing and stumbled across a process video about mixed media postcards.  That particular video took me to another and so on and so on and so on.  I was fascinated at how these obscure pieces of leftover paper and paint were turned into these little 4 x 6 works of art.  Amazing!  I tried making some and had such a good time; it was relaxing and no pressure and I played at them for a couple of hours.  Another thing on the plus side is that you can use your scraps for these little beauties -  I have a hard time discarding scraps, well just about anything actually, but l digress .  And since I had to cut down the sheets because they were too big,  I used the extra cut off bits to make ATCs.    I'm very pleased about using up this stuff as I have waaaay too much and feel guilty about this overabundance of treasures,  not guilty enough to toss them, but "somewhat" guilty nonetheless.

Here are a few of the post cards I created.   I don't think they will ever be used as a postcard but one never knows!
