Do you have a stash of interesting papers with colors and images you love? Would you like to make art with them? A collage postcard is a quick way to dip your toe into the sea of collage creativity.
Collect a small assortment of papers you like with similar colors.
On a piece of cardstock, begin laying them out, moving the pieces around.
When they start to look interesting -- not perfect!-- glue them down, remembering that you can always paint over, collage over or draw over any parts you like.
Use whatever glue you have on hand --glue sticks, Yes! paste, acrylic matte medium, even Elmer's school glue. An old credit card can help you smooth down bubbly papers after gluing.
Step back occasionally, and let your intuition (that soft, wee voice within) offer suggestions.
I used Yes! Paste to glue my papers down, then added marks with colored pencils and Posca paint pens. Use what you have on hand.
If you're concerned about the loose edges of papers getting damaged as they go through the mail system, you can always tuck your creation into an envelope.
