This is how she does the dryer sheets.
Dryer sheets do take a long time to dry no matter how you do them. I put them in a plastic tub and spritz them with water first. Then I drizzle the paint over them and begin to toss them. I keep spritzing them with water to get the paint to move. Sometimes I throw sheets of one color in with another color and toss. This will give two colors on them. Each sheet will have varying amounts of paint, some need more. With this batch, I got wonderful markings where the paint sat in the creases. You can also stamp them; make sure to put a piece of cloth underneath the sheet and you may get two prints.

Owlvamp, very cute rainbow "inch worm". For all those dreaming of spring, it is a tantalizing view.
Nancia, Your hummingbird is beautiful. You are a wonderful painter. It makes this postcard especially unique.
Dorothy, I love what you've done with the buttons and background fabric. So much fun.

beckyw, Have you received my card yet? I know my post office is slow but I didn't think it would be this late. Maybe the weather delayed it although ours wasn't that bad. Please let me know if you haven't received it by tomorrow and I will try to track it.
