Opening up for Happy Mail

In my blog post On the Receiving End I showd a few of the postcards I got in the DIY postcard swap
last year (you can still join today – don’t miss out!). Here are the rest from that lovely pile of postcards that I received:

A little paint, mark making and a cute image of a few flowers or a butterfly… A postcard can be as elaborate or as easy as you choose to make it!
