I made some postcards a few weeks ago but I had to wait to share them until Mom got her birthday card. This is the first postcard that I made on the Cricut and I made 2 of them, one for Mom and one for my friend, Cheryl. I painted the fabric with Tsukineko inks. I've had the inks for ages and I don't use them often, But occasionally they are perfect for a project. I added a little stitching in metallic thread. I made 2 of these cards for 2 of my brothers. "Shell" was a "thing" on vacation. You know how something silly takes hold and takes over and becomes the theme of the event. Passing around a shell and using "shell" in a phrase or sentence was started by my oldest brother and his wife. It seem appropriate to continue the theme for my brothers' birthdays. These last 2 were for friends who weren't feeling well. The one on the right went really well and the vinyl fused down great. the one on the left was more difficult. The base is just too textured but I eventually got it stuck. I hope it held up through the mail!

You've reminded me that I need to make some more postcards to have on hand.

For a moment there I was excited thinking that it was all fabric that you had cut with the cricut.
