Number of swap partners:2
Description:

At least 6” x 4” (in US up to 6”x4.25” is the same rate). Have ABOUT half or more 40-100%) as paint over newspaper. Some of the newsprint must be visible (but no set amount). Paint type does not matter, or use a mix: acrylic, gouache, watercolor, paint pens, wetted watercolor pencil, etc.

EDIT: Dropped % to be newspaper from "60% or more" to "40% or more". Your postcard does not need to be only newspaper, the other about half, can be collage, other papers, markers, etc. In the PC photographed I used newspaper strips with painted flowers on heavier stock and some newspaper images collaged on Zoomed in to try and show the newsprint.

EDIT2: I used two newspapers for this photo, one for the face (used acrylic & water based paints, and some acrylic paint pen) and one for the script (painted with watered acrylic). I was going for a Picasso style split face but it looks a bit more graphic novel to me.

One PC to each of TWO partners. Communicate if issues come up.

PM me if I forgot anything. I’ll angel if necessary but seems very unlikely here!
