Deltiology -
(from Greek δελτίον, deltion,
diminutive of δέλτος, deltos,
"writing tablet, letter";
and -λογία, - logia)
is the study and collection. of. postcards. ~anonymous
What an interesting word … Deltiology
I love Postcards.
I collect them.
I have a bunch … *wishful thinking* - that I can get the super old ones
Uhmmm … Collectors item? *wink*
An ultimate Muse.
And that it why, I was inspired to create my own Postcards using the Grateful Glam Kit from Rhonna Designs. I had so much fun on playing around the images. Well, it is just the beginning … I made 2 samples (opps ... *write* To Do List - personal Postcards To Go) and I printed it using the Canson Digital Canvas paper – this p.a.p.e.r! is now my new fave. Thanks to my Copic local Distributor, Graphics International Centre for sending me the samples.
Instruction on Printing: must use Ink Jet printer otherwise it will not print properly.
Challenge: I don't have an Ink Jet printer anymore. So I went to look for a heavy duty printer … found one and finally printed it … using still a laser printer. Et ...
Voila!
Rustic. Vintage.
just Perfect.

Love it, Jing!! Very good idea to use canvas!! Always trying to be practical I would try iron-transfer paper first and a regular printer!!.. And I love Rhonna Designs as well!!! Being digital scrapbooker I find these designs are very fresh, vintagy and mystique..
