You've got mail - Postcard swap

  Over at
this month...
I joined in with their POSTCARD SWAP.
where the challenge was to alter 5 postcards...
...and send them to 5 different (allocated) people
-oOo-
My postcards went out in the mail today.
...to the USA, The Netherlands, Canada and South Africa.
This was my first altered postcard swap...
I ended up making 6
5 to swap and 1 to keep :)
 I had fun altering them
...mixed media collage style
  sewing pattern paper backgrounds
and lots of ....
paints...
 ...fabric,
tape measure,
vintage style images...
...wings,
distressing inks,
lace and vintage buttons!!
Can't wait to receive my 'Happy Mail' art postcards now....
Thanks for peeking!
