Fabric postcard swap

I was the same way LoupEsprit. Your card is very pretty. You did a great job on it. I am sure they will be happy with it.
I could have done more on mine, but wasn't sure until I got it done. lol.. I think I was afraid to do much more. lol....
I should have taken a picture of mine closer up, because I didn't have good light, and it looks smaller than the actual card. LoupEsprit did you paper piece yours? It is so pretty. I am trying to learn to paper piece.

I agree with Loup. Use whatever sort of textile artform inspires you as long as it's 4" x 6" when you're finished, you're golden. If you haven't done so already, I encourage you to check out Pinterest for ideas or simply google Fabric postcards and you'll get tons of ideas! Any other questions, please yell!

There are no 'blunders' with this kind of project. I know I need to work on my edges more next time and am not trying to beat myself up over it. We're all learning together, right?? Most importantly - - - - have fun!

I have an idea I want to run past everyone & get your feedback. For a future FPC, I was thinking of including the use of fine tulle as a final top cover and enclosing 'confetti' of some kind. I hope you can picture this in your mind; adding some confetti and covering it w/ tulle then sewing the edges. I saw a picture and thought it looked really cool. Can you imagine receiving a postcard with confetti??
Let me know what you think or if you think I'm crazy - -- ---

Here is my finished postcard for my special person Billi. I hope you like it Billi, and I apologize for any blunders on it. Since it was my first time blindly making one (lol) it was awkward, but still lots of fun.

My husband kindly took it to the post office for me, and he is there as I write.
It doesn't really show much in this pic, but I used a lot of gold metallic thread on it.
