I would love to receive a handmade decorated postcard from you

Some more handmade cards meanwhile got to their destinations :slight_smile:

rubber stamped with self-made stamps:


rubber stamped with stamps from the gorgeous Le tampographe:

collaged, scanned and professionally printed:

These were printed by myself with vintage printing plates in a printing museum:



Preparing everything for printing, cleaning everything afterwards and cutting the paper takes far more time than the printing, which is the fun bit of the whole process.

Wow! There are so many ideas and precious postcards in this topic!
I make dried flowers handmades, laminated:






And I like drawing something on the picture of the card, like (for inspiration I go to deviantart, I’m no artist)

(I have the paintings altered with masks series which I made after the first wave was finished - we all were sweet summer children back then, but now it would be inconsiderate to show)
Also recently I started making backside decorations with my toddler - he chooses colours and tapes, and stickers, and I just compose them, easy and fun

@mchay Yeah, I have drown them several days ago. Thank you :sparkling_heart:

Love that bullfinch. Still waiting for one to show up at our bird feeder.
Would also love to see one of those red cardials in reality but sadly they aren’t a domestic species in Germany.

I‘m not a stamp collector, but some of them are little artpieces, so I made collages:
