I appliqued fabric to the front fabric, rubber stamped and heat set POST CARD on the back sides. Then I either rubber stamped or appliqued a matching piece on the backs. The colors are a little off, as it is a dark, rainy, day, and I had a tough time taking photo's of the post cards without getting shadows. The recipients can use a sharpie pen to add a message and address when they mail them out. Well, now to get my swap out in the mail.
Below are the fabric post cards that I stitched up this morning.

P.S...My mail art envelopes with the fabric postcards tucked inside the envelope were mailed out Friday, November 12th. I took my 4 swap envelopes to the post office to make sure they had the correct postage and if they okay. The postal worker at the window took my envelopes, weighted them, checked for thickness, and took them as they were okay to go.
