Inspiration for my postcard's design
I am in an internet postcard swap group, and we do various themes. So this one was a landscape of the area you live in, and since we live in the high desert of Colorado, I did some mountains and deserts.
Techniques I used to make the postcard
I use a lot of fusible web and very sharp scissors. Then I draw on the backing, cut out my designs and fuse them to a pieced background. Sometimes I will add various embellishments, though I felt none was needed on this particular quilty postie. Sometimes I will use a piece of fabric that you can see thru, to hold in beads and baubles.
Tips and Tricks
- Very sharp scissors are a must.
Materials I used to make my fabric postcard
I use a lot of Timtex for the stiffness, and various tones-on-tones, with fabric that will enhance the picture.
How long did it take to make the postcard?
Pulling from stash on shelves took approx. 30 minutes.
