Hi everyone, Barbara here again, with a little tutorial for making a batch of 'moooooving' postcards......we moved house last Tuesday, so I sent these out a few days before the big day. I didn't want to make proper cards, as time was short, so I opted for postcards which could just be popped into an envelope.

I started by computer generating the words onto A4 cardstock and did 4 sentiments per sheet.

Because I was short of my favourite white linen card, I used a previous special offer, white felt embossed. (watch for this coming back in special offers, as it's fab to work with )

Next, I chopped them up into 4 pieces per sheet.

I stamped the cow image above the sentiment.

Each image was mounted onto coloured cardstock....I used left-over pieces of baby-blue, dark green, post-box red, daffodil yellow, dark violet & ocean blue..

I coloured each one with Promarkers....(very tedious)

To finish, we printed out new details and adhered to the back of the card, popped each one into an envelope and voila!

40 finished postcards, made with 10 sheets of white cardstock and leftover pieces of coloured......

That's all for now, back soon,

Barbara.
