mixed media adventure

I've recently branched out from making greeting cards to include making post cards, and I've also been learning to work with mixed media.  For inspiration and instruction, I've followed along at both Paper Artsy, where the current topic is tissue paper, and at Sunday Postcard Art, where the current theme is owls.  I knew I could not draw an owl I would be pleased with, so I printed one from the internet onto plain white gift wrap tissue.  I also printed the quote onto the same tissue paper.  The base of my piece is a page from an old book which I colored with ink and acrylic paint.  The tissue bits have been attached with Mod Podge, pounced carefully (not brushed) so as not to cause bleeding, because I used an inkjet printer. 

You can see my first attempt at a post card (also inspired by Sunday Postcard Art) here.  I learned from that card that I need a double thickness of card stock and it should be sealed, so I used a clear acrylic gloss spray that I've had forever. This is now ready to be mailed to another Postcrossing member.
