Watercolor Postcard Back

Painting the back of a vintage postcard with watercolor can be a fun and creative way to give an old card new life. The card’s front should not be affected as long as you take care not to let the paint bleed through to the front. When painting on the back of a vintage postcard, it’s important to use light strokes and thin layers of paint to avoid damaging the card. Watercolors can be a good choice for this project because they are easy to work with and can be layered to create different effects. Just be sure to use high-quality watercolor paints and paper to ensure the best results.

The original postcard is an undivided back originally mailed in 1906. You will notice the 1 cent stamp and original postmark cancels. I used pink and yellow watercolors. You can save the image and use in digital scrapbook layouts or online.
