Postcard Swap

On ANUK, Kari organised a birthday postcard swap.
We sent her 6 postcards and we will get 6 different ones back to send to ANUK friends as birthday cards.

I haven't made postcards for a long, long time and never in fabric, so I thought I would have a go.
These are my attempts ;0)

The bottom two are collage on watercolour backgrounds and the others are fabric.
These came from a piece of fabric that I made for another project.
I really liked this textile but there wasn't enough left for another..... whatever really!
But there was enough to make these postcards - yippee!

My favourite is the one in the middle that you can't see because of the flashback. Typical!
But the lady is holding a piece of lace across her face. I put a sheer piece of fabric across the card to match.
A couple of others have little organza flowers on them.

A lovely project that I enjoyed making and will enjoy seeing the others. The best part though will be sending them on to the birthday girls. What a treat. Thanks Kari.

Hi!
If you hadn't mentioned "never making fabric postcards", no one would ever have known! These are all just fantastic. I love the texture mixed with the smooth figurative images. The contrast is subtly perfect!

I agree with others - you have done a fantastic job and it is hard to believe this is the first time you've done fabric PCs. Lovely :)

These are lovely Alis. Especially the top three and I too love that centre one. You have done really well considering it is your first attempt at fabric postcards. Whoever gets sent these will be very pleased.

Wonderful work Alis, I adore them. And like the others, I would never have guessed that you'd never made fabric cards before. Well done!
