All you need is text.
Text-based postcards are not uncommon, but most people associate postcards with breathtaking landscapes or striking illustrations. Creating interest with images is definitely easier and it triggers immediate reaction, but arranging text carefully and choosing the right words is a talent in its own right.
Nice. 5 and 6 are both pretty awesome.
Love #6 as well
Great choices! I like the simplicity and cleverness of #1 the most myself!
