SSM: THEMED Handmade Postcard - Animal(s)

March is close here at my house and bringing with it longer days and a yearning for summer. I hope that wherever you are in the world, you and yours are safe and happy.

I love making and receiving Handmade Postcards. I think it's officially become a hobby. It's also a challenge for me when there is a theme that I need to follow. I enjoy that and hope that there are others here in Sunshine Swaps that do as well. You are NOT required to be an artist for this swap. It is only required that you put some thought and effort into what you create.

I have been spacing these themed cards a few weeks apart so that there is plenty of time to complete your own little masterpiece.

THEME: Animals!! - I am a complete animal lover. I can find a reason to love just about any living creature on this planet. My dogs are my favorite - but I am pretty much smitten by my chickens too :D Maybe you have a different animal that you want to showcase. Can't wait to see what you all come up with!!!

Mediums allowed: You can use most anything to create your card. Paper crafting, painting, drawing, stamping, mixed media, etc. The sky is the limit on art supplies you can incorporate. The only restriction is no sticker slapping. There are other swaps for that kind of handmade - this one is more artistic and thoughtful.

Please use a sturdy background. Remember that a "regular" postcard is sized 4 x 6. In the US if it's larger than that, it requires more postage.

Feel free to ask questions if there's anything you are unsure of. General Swap Bot and SSM group rules apply to sending, rating and hearts. Be kind and communicate if there's an issue. photo courtesy of LotteDrouen
