My Creative Space

My mystery project is almost complete!
Photobucket
The screenprinting, the postmark stamp, the fabric ink... what does it all add up to?
Postcards
Fabric Postcards!


I got the idea from xnickerxje's fabric postcard tutorial on BurdaStyle. I didn't think too hard about the fact it's got unfinished edges, and I don't like working with unfinished edges. Next batch I do I'll cut the front larger and fold it over to the back to cover the edges.

Now I've just got to postmark them and they're ready for market!

Your post cards are brilliant. They look fantastic to me, I'll be interested in looking at the next batch.

What a fab idea - I love it! The only problem with looking at all these amazing creative spaces is that it makes me want to put my boy in a cuboard and create all day!

Great job.

They look so great! Can't wait to see them in the flesh ... I can imagine NMC postcards as well!

Kylie said...

They're fabulous! I think you should leave the edges as is... folding will make it too bulky maybe? K

Cute postcards. I wonder - just for fun, could you try and send one somewhere?! Would love to know what happened with it!!

these are GORGEOUS!

have you thought of doing Christmas-themed ones? I'd love to hang them around a tree or a few as a garland on the mantlepiece

kids could write on them to Santa (but parents could keep them and they wouldn't deteriorate like actual paper postcards do) perhaps using laundry markers or fabric paints?
although that would probably detract from how lovely you've made these!
