Say it with a postcard

Sending postcards: nostalgic act or revolutionary gesture?
In the era of two-minute voice messages (and their transcripts, thankfully) and emoji desperately trying to replace real emotions, some still choose to write by hand, stick a stamp on it, and entrust their thoughts to a piece of paper. And not just any piece of paper, but a postcard: a small, carefully chosen, illustrated fragment of the world. Sending a postcard means saying ‘I thought of you’, but with more style than a heart on WhatsApp. It is a romantic and somewhat rebellious gesture because it requires time and attention. A message that doesn’t get lost among a thousand notifications. Say it with a postcard if it is a message you want to be special.

The postcards on this page are handmade or available for digital download in my Etsy shop. The handmade postcards are one-of-a-kind pieces, handmade with watercolours and coloured pencils or printed in limited editions using the linocut printing technique. The designs available for download are either high-quality photos of handmade works or made in vector and scalable format. All designs on the site are copyrighted and, therefore, cannot be reproduced.
If you have a special person to whom you would like to dedicate the beauty of a postcard made and designed especially for them, please contact me, and I will be happy to help.
