I've been part of a postcard swap group for several years. Our group keeps dwindling but we are still at it, twice a year. Our most recent exchange was due May 31, and not all have posted, but thought I'd share mine and the ones I have received.
As noted in the title our theme was Cravings. I couldn't get past the first thing that came to mind, which was, of course, chocolate! I found a piece of fabric that reminded me of dark, rick chocolate, and made a thermofax screen of the words "dark chocolate". I used a discharge paste to print the screen in the center of each 4 x 6 rectangle and after fusing to timtex, did a double row of stitching to resemble a chocolate bar. Simple, but effective I think I love the way the discharge turned out. With discharge, you never know what you'll get - it depends on the dyes used in the fabric.
This is Lois B's card - like me, Lois craves chocolate. She really wants to be slimmer, but the craving usually wins. I definitely empathize!
Cathy T. made this lovely card depicting a butterfly flying free from flower to flower - she craves that ability to fly free for herself. Read more about Cathy's cards and process on her blog.
Sherry W. craves an English Cottage Garden. She is working on a real one, but in the meantime created this delightful piece.
