Spring Mailer

When I began creating my Spring Mailer I wanted to use an idea I had worked on for an Illustration Friday Challenge.  But I wanted, also, to make it better.  Once I had created the front, I was having a hard time deciding what to use on the back.

I wanted to attract the attention of whomever picked up the card, but I wanted to tell a little story as well.
What I finally came up with was kind of fun for me as well as a nice outcome for the falling boy.

Tedious but well worth the effort

Overnight Prints was offering 50 free UV coated post cards. However they could only be printed on one side. Since I normally do a mailing with contact info and a small image on the reverse of the postcard, I needed a way to easily put that info on the back side of the card.

I decided to create a 2" x 4" label with all the info that I could just stick on the back along with the address label.
It took a while but it works really well, and now I have 50 extra postcards for my summer mailing.
