Beginners Handmade Postcard + Decorated Envelope

This is a swap for Beginners, experienced Users welcome too.

You will create one Postcard (do not alter an existing postcard), take some cardboard and
use collage, inks, pictures, napkins, image transfer, stamps, sewing, thread and/or paints; whatever you like.

On one side is your creation, put Lines on the back so your partner can use it as a postcard. Or if they like it very very much, frame it.

Since my mail service is very picky, I am not allowed to send handmade postcards in the mail.

So as a 2nd step we will send the handmade postcard in a decorated envelope/handmade envelope to our partners.
You can use collage, inks and more on the envelope, make sure nothing bulky is on it, so it will go easy through mail service. If you handfold your envelope with pretty paper, add something more on the envelope, like stamped images or doodles.

Try to cover up most of the space on the envelope. You can leave the adress field and where the postage stamp goes white/uncovered.
Please use a real postage stamp on the envelope!

If you are not allowed to glue stuff on, you can paint on the envelope, stamp some nice pictures, fill them in or use stencils and paint.

If you use ModPodge as a sealer, I would suggest to put the PC in a plastic sheet, to protect the PC. ( I use plasticsheets where storebought notecards come in and recycle them this way.)

The size should be around DinA6, around 15cm x10 cm (= approx. 6" x 4.25" ), so it fit into a B6 or C6 envelope.

1 postcard in a decorated envelope to 1 partner

Please rate your partner promptly.

PM me with any questions or problems with this swap.

4.95 and no recent 1's or 3's to participate. And no late swaps on the dashboard.
