"Club 84" - Postcard

This week’s Sunday Postcard Art challenge was “Squares." For the past two weeks, whenever I had a little time, I have been working on the Vintage Glitz and Glamor theme for which I missed the deadline. I tried adding the spray of confetti cubes (squares) to it and liked the result, so it became my second entry for this week.

The fonts from top to bottom are Maximilian Antiqua, Lassus, DeiGratia.

I am behind on commenting and challenges because I haven't had much free time lately. That will be true for the next two months or longer.

"Oriental" – Postcard

This week’s Three Muses challenge was “Oriental.” This is also my entry for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge "Squares."

The font is Bolton Elongated which can be found here. The images are from various sources including Dover Publications free samples.

"Romance" - Postcard

This week’s Theme Thursday challenge was “Romance.” This is also my entry for The Three Muses challenge "Oriental".

The font is Rebel Caps which can be found here. The background is oriental paper that I found on the internet. The oriental letters are brushes, possibly from deviantart. The image is from the New York Public Library.

I haven't had much time for artwork lately. I'm trying to get a few pieces done today.
