www.ihanna.nu/blog/2012/11/share-you-postcard-makings
if your interested. You create anything on the postcards you like. sometimes theres a theme.
This is the fronts of the cards. I machine stitched on some of them, Painted, used rub on's stamps, images from magazines, and cut words out of books to form sentences.
The next swap Im in, is to create round postcards. This is the envelope Im sending them away in.
The backs of the round postcrads. We have to leave a gap on the back for an address to be written.
Fronts of the round postcards. I used paint, felt pens, glitter, and modeling paste.
I squished modeling paste through a stencil to get the design on the psotcards. Modeling paste is such cool stuff to use. drys quick to. Heres a link. I used the same stencil they did. OOOO I mean THEY used the same stencil as me. tee hee hee.....

ReplyDeleteYes go and buy some modeling paste. its such fun to use, easy and quick results to. Have fun.
Hi, Robin, I received your pink card in the postcard swap. I'm excited to get an international one for the first time! The texture on your card is wonderful, and it's a great use of the round stencil. Thanks for the reminder about the modeling paste. I need to find mine and try it out of some of the future cards.
