Alice in Wonderland postcard

Alice in Wonderland/Through the looking glass - what a fun theme! This is one of my favourite stories, and I so enjoyed making this postcard. I printed out the picture (black and white) onto card, and then coloured it with watercolour pencils - without the water. The words were made with a Dymo printer, and the edge with a gold marker.

Vintage postcards


"Vintage Postcards" ... I enjoyed making these. Those of you who know me, know that I struggle with vintage themes, but these postcards were SOOOOOO easy to make.

I think it was because I had some new flourish stamps, and couldn't wait to use them, and this theme was perfect. The recipient was happy with them too, so maybe I'll try vintage more often ...

Aren't the little girls cute?

"Blue" & "Wings" postcards

More postcards for a Decorative Envies swap.

This one was "Blue" and "Wings" ...

~ the "Blue" one is a picture from Dover that I printed out on blue paper. I cut it out, and glued it onto writing paper glued to card ~

~ the "Wings" one was fun - I printed the background paper, and cut out the winged children, and glued them to the background ~

Postcard swap

These postcards were made for a Decorative Envies monthly Postcard swap. They are 6"x 4" (which fit perfectly in a photo album). The "Flower" one is made with scrapbooking paper (surprise, surprise ... LOL). The oval shape is from a set of die-cuts that I bought from the Warehouse, and the daisies have been Kindy Glitz'ed.

The "Green" one has been stamped with some of my favourite stamps - I especially love the Seahorse one - and all the stamping and edges have been done with Adidrondak inks. I do enjoy making postcards, and am planning on participating every month in our swaps.
