Here's a sneak preview of my postcards for the 2011 Postcards Swap. I finished four within the last 24 hours so should have no problems finishing the remaining six until next Wednesday.
For a few days I played around with my fabric stash and scraps, browsed the web for inspiration, emptied out my large basket of ribbons, purchased some stick-on gems .... until I finally found the right combinations.
I also, for the first time, started sewing on paper and gave the postcards a decorative stitch on the reverse.
I'm quite pleased with the result so far... I'd love to keep them myself I think! I hope the person who receives them will be just as pleased.

How adorable! And what a good idea to use the decorative stitches on the backs.
Your cards are adorable, and I LOVE the decorative stitch on the back...very clever! I am doing Hanna's swap, too. Your swap partners are very lucky!
Jepp, those decorative stitches gives it that little something extra.
