A moon lyric come into my head immediately. It's from "To the Moon and Back" by Savage Garden and you can hear it here. I stamped the moon first and then brushed on a hint of Scattered Straw DI before masking it. I then applied Distress Ink to the background and stamped the birds.

It took some time to find a short "sensation" quote - so many of them were more like essays. I finally plumped for one by John Ruskin, a Victorian who was an art critic, art patron, draughtsman, watercolourist, a prominent social thinker and philanthropist. A very busy man!
I used PaperArtsy Fresco paints on the background and stencilling before giving the circle stamp it's very first outing.

2 lovely cards and quotes. I love the birds on the first one! xx
Two great cards. Love the colour combo on the second one. My fav colours :)
I was especially impressed with your lyrics postcard, because you couldn't have picked better stamps to illustrate them.
I was also quite impressed with the background of the second postcard. Really great colors and I was mesmerized by the circles.
Love those little birdies looking at the moon and well done on finding a sensation quote too!
Two lovely cards and quotes.
Wonderful postcards as always and great choice of quote & lyric. Have a great week ahead :o)
Just catching up with the Moon/Sensation-Challenge, really a bit late these days. These are two fabulous pieces.
Aha I have that moon stamp and couldn't remember who made it, thank you Maggie :)
Two fabulous postcards - love the simplistic touch on the first one and the more arty look for the second one. Both brilliant xx
