benevolent postcard studio: april

As I made April's BPS postcard, I was still in the throes of spring bulb euphoria, a condition that overcomes me annually.

The front of the card featured a photo of tulips on my kitchen table. I chose a background of pale aqua and sketched some leaves using Word. (My skills, alas, don't include use of more sophisticated graphics software: my humble tools are PowerPoint, Word, Preview, and occasionally a great little application called Acorn that I'm still getting to know. Photoshop scares me.)

For the back, I chose a pretty poem, as fresh as spring, by James Hearst.

This time the postcard was destined for Dawn, in far-away South Africa.

  1. Gorgeous postcard, even if you did creatively use your technical skills! Am glad your photos are up. Blogger seems to have trouble with my images from posts older than a week ago.
