March Extra Swap - Double Sided

This extra swap is for a Double Sided ATC Swap.  No, I hadn't heard of a Double Sided ATC so, of course, I had to join in!!
The idea is to make both sides of the ATC a picture and add your details round the edges of the card.
I typed out my details in different fonts, measured the length of text I would need and then printed them onto thin paper.  I cut the text to size, adhered them along the edges of the cards and set them aside to dry.
I had to find a theme for these cards and my first thoughts were to have opposites like a woman on the one side a man on the other, a boat on one side and a plane on the other,  but then decided to make the cards on a theme of Different Perspectives .......



I sketched out a man on a desert island who sees a boat far out at sea and thinks he is about to be rescued.  



On side two I sketched out a man in the boat who sees land at last.





I sketched out an untidy man in a fast food joint with his phone on his hand on side one.


I sketched another man, deep in prayer, on side two.

One word but two meanings.



On side one I sketched the dog and on side two I sketched a cat.  

The thoughts of each animal shows the different perspectives.  

I wrote the words out on each side and then realised I had written them wrong, it should have read - These people take care of me and feed me, they must be God (the cat thinks - I must be God).  Too late to change them as I had used a permanent pen!!!

In order for this theme to be understood - my funnies are not funny to everyone - I made an envelope for each card and wrote the theme titles on each envelope. 

It will be interesting to see how the other members interpret this idea.

UPDATED.

Thank you Kate for these and for hosting a great swap.


On my Blog Template this is set out perfect for my OCD but Blogger seems to have other ideas and not only changes the font but destroys the layout ......
