Description:

♥ This is for everyone who loves the low postage fee of postcards, but also likes getting a bit creative now and then. It is the first of a series of swaps for Handmade Postcards. Each so often, we will have a different colour scheme.

♥ This time the theme is your choice of colour. This means, you will choose a single colour and create two postcards with this colour as the main one. Only one colour for this swap please, pretty soon I'll make a your choice of a colour combination swap

♥ You will be given 2 weeks after partners are assigned to make one postcard for 2 different partners. That's 2 handmade postcards in total. You will make your postcards however you like, as long as you keep with the theme. It is sender's choice, but it's always nice to check your partner's likes and dislikes before sending off. Make something you'd be proud to put your name on.

♥ Please ensure that your postcard is made on cardboard hard enough to not be damaged when it's on its travels around the world. You can place your paper over an ad postcard. Another nice idea is to cover the front of the postcard with contact plastic (as long as you don't make bubbles). This protects the postcard very well

♥ The postcards are to be naked (not you !), that is, without an envelope and written on. It's always nice to write something more than just "hi" and "bye". Don't ruin a beautiful postcard with rubbish written on it. If you know that you have bad handwriting, you can always type the message on the back.

♥ Because the cards are being sent naked, it's difficult to send extras. Make sure that you make something that is worth hearts

♥ Usual rules... Newbies are WELCOME, no recent 1s or 3s without explanation, no swaplifters... if I fail to ban a flaker, I will angel this swap for you [just let me know]

♥ Questions ? Mail me !

I love your postcard series. I have already done the pink ones and these, but I won't tell which colour they are before sending them.

Thanks for notifying me of this swap - I've joined!

I just finished the "Pink" one! So much fun! Im going to wait for my ratings to make sure I did it right before I sign up for this one!

Also: Anyone signing up for this one have a child that also makes postcards? My 10 yr old daughter worked so hard making some, and I cant find any kid swaps! I would love to set up a private swap so our kids can send to each other! Thanks!

Yay another one (I was looking out for it). I'm making the pink ones at the moment, can't wait to start on these aswell! :)

So is it monochromatic then? or blank one color?

spin 10/ 6/2009 #

I have the same question.. do different shades of the same colour count or is it ONE pen/pencil/ colour pot?

brainwashingkids 10/ 7/2009 #

am i just supposed to paint the post card all one color?

Shucks. . . I missed this one!!! I'll check your profile for the next color(s) and I did enjoy the black & white PC swap and the pink PC swap ~~

Monochromatic (shades of the same colour)

Just use the PC size to allow your creativity to flow:)
