Modern Day Ephemera

Most of us love our vintage ephemera but try to think about the things around you that are modern day ephemera. Will they be loved and adored in 25, 50 or 100 years?

Collect 5 of the things from the list below and make a handmade postcard for your partner using all or part of each item. Send it naked (not in an envelope) and dazzle your partner. Let's interpret modern as within the last 5 years.

This is obviously a collage type swap but feel free to add anything else you want - rubber stamping, drawing, painting, stenciling, rubbings, etc. You may also use other types of ephemera or paper.
