Post Card Art for Fall

I am careful not to commit to swaps and exchanges that I cannot keep up with.  I would never want to be 'one of those' people - the 'flakes'.  Twice yearly iHanna coordinates an international postcard swap and it is one that I never miss.  Making ten postcards and sending them to ten recipients from parts of the world is fun.  What I receive in my mailbox in return never disappoints.   Here are the postcards that I created and sent.  I started with Gelli prints using colors I recalled from the changing  trees in Massachusetts.  Shades of reds, purples (from the maples) and oranges.  












Check out iHanna's DIY Postcard Swap and the creative people who participate.  Join her mailing list to find out when her next swap will be!

      You are so welcome! Plus it is nice to participate in a swap where no one seems to flake out. I received 10 beautiful cards from others!

    Hi Johanna, I wanted to let you know I received one of your gorgeous postcards! I wonder if you could send me your email, (you should have mine from the swap-I had a quick question to ask you) Your cards captured the colors and feelings of Autumn beautifully!

    Enjoyed seeing your autumn postcards! I never commit to these things either unless I can finish the task at hand. It's the only time I am really excited to go to the mailbox except for Christmas time. Lovely cards.
