Think art journaling on a small scale. Mixed media is a combining of papers, inks, painting, fabric etc. For example... From the following suggestions (and any more you can think of) pick 2-3 items and combine these to create your masterpieces.

Your postcards are going to come back to you in a fabric bag/cover to hold them all (my gift to you) - you don't need to leave an edge clear for binding as each card will be inside an bag/envie - for this reason its also irrelevant if you do your card in portrait or landscape...
