Melbourne Suitcase - Australian Postcard

This whimsical ‘Melbourne Suitcase’ Australian postcard has been hand illustrated using fine liner pens, digitally coloured, and printed in Melbourne by The Nonsense Maker. The unique illustration features a quirky and detailed drawing of Melbourne's iconic Flinders Street Station nestled within a vintage suitcase. A tiny tram runs along the rim of the suitcase, while red and white hot air balloons float above. The text beside the illustration reads "Greetings from Melbourne" in a vintage postcard style font.

The Nonsense Maker’s ‘Melbourne Suitcase’ Australian postcard is sustainably hand made in Melbourne using all Australian suppliers.

Beginning with a pencil sketch before moving to pen, a method called crosshatching is used to create the depth and the tone you see in the final design. This fine line art is then scanned into a computer and coloured digitally. Every Australian postcard is ethically printed on high quality 350gsm recycled card.

We often have customers let us know they love our Australian postcard but struggle to think of things to write in them, and they are certainly not alone there! Writing a postcard is similar to a greeting card. Check out our blog page for our top tips on what to write.

The Nonsense Maker’s unique Australian postcard designs are imagined from a fun and whimsical world where dreaming meets reality. Sometimes silly and sometimes sad, inspired by etching techniques used by old time illustrators. While The Nonsense Maker’s art prints often have finer details, the souvenir postcards, Australian greeting cards and quirky stationery are usually an easy cheerful expression designed to bring a smile to your face!
