Morning readers
I've a make to share with you today .... I recently made my first postcard and enjoyed the process so thought I would have another go - this one turned out more girly than I imagined when I started it, it just sort of evolved! It's presently winging it's way to someone I haven't been able to catch up with in person, thanks to the Covid-19 lockdown.

| The front of my postcard |

The reverse of my postcard .. using an image from Dark Room Door's DDRS020
- interestingly enough entitled "Christmas Reindeer"!!!! |
Materials used:
- Two pieces of 200gsm white card cut to 6" x 4" and glued together
- KanBan border image (Stamp 08) stamped using Versafine Clair morning mist ink - I did this using my MISTI .. just as well since I had to have three goes to get a decent (and even) impression
- Impression Obsession sentiments (MC657 Wishes) stamped using Versafine Clair purple delight ink
- Butterfly (a Craft Stamper free image which I THINK may have been from Chocolate Baroque) stamped using Ranger Archival vibrant fuchsia ink
- Using my Aldi stencil brush I applied a small amount of Memento rosebud ink around the outer edge of my postcard and then repeated the proces using the same ink but brushing through a Dutchdoobadoo stencil 470.715.120

Slightly different direction for a recent walk .... whilst it looks rural it's only a few hundred yards away from shopping, restaurants, offices and a busy ring road ..... still, a very pleasant walk nonetheless
 |
| You can just see the very edge of the office building |
 |
| What looks like a rural foot/cycle path which is just yards from the ring road |
 |
| And in the middle ... a McDonalds too! |

A wonderful idea to make a postcard to send to a friend Kathy and love the pretty look with the silhouette border and the pretty butterfly, and the stencilled background looks great too. Another lovely walk, and it just goes to show that there are still some pretty vistas even near busy roads in urban areas. x
Very pretty postcard!! Thank you for joining our challenge at The sisterhood!
