Someone asked in one of those comments whether I have posted any of my postcards. No I haven't. I do ensure when I'm making them that they are flat and could be sent by Royal Mail but I intend to make them into a book at some stage.
For challenge 14 the words "inspiration" and "logic" were our starting point. I choose to use imagination for my song lyric postcard and chose Runaway Daydreamer by Sophie Ellis Bextor. If you are not familiar with the song here is a video of Sophie.

My background for the quotation postcard was created by sponging three colours of Distress Inks onto a stencil, then spritzing with water and placing my watercolour on top to "print" the pattern. I then sponged Peacock Feather over the top.

Both cards are lovely. They exude calm and the stamps are wonderful.
I'm always impressed when you offer both a quote and lyrics that cover both challenge words. I really love your gal lying on the hammock with the Scottie dog looking on. I can tell she is daydreaming about an escape. Lovely art for both entries.
Beautiful backgrounds and great quotes too. Well done on doing both words!!
Two really lovely postcards, can't choose between them love the stamps you have used in the first one and the background in the second one.
You will have a fantastic book when this challenge is over.
Lovely page and I agree with the quote.
Can't believe I missed you Maggie:)! Love both your cards, fabulous background detail on the first one with all the dragonflies but my favourite has to be the feathers on the second card! Well done and congratulations on being a wall of famer :)
These are two wonderful pieces. Great quotes.
