I'm finding postcards a little hard because they are so small. I do BIG, small to me is 36" square, the format is very restricting. I found with this last lot I did a bit better by cutting a strip 8" by 30 something and working it as a piece with evenly spaced trees, they will then be cut up into postcards. I had the brilliant idea of using the hole punch to cut perfect little circles out of red felt for fruit on the trees. Perhaps it's our hole punches but I only got 3 or four fruit, a holey bit of felt and have managed to jam up all the hole punch machines.
Plan A was to just embroider little blobs of red. So plan A it is then. I painted the trees with textile medium, as much to intensify the colour as anything else. After all I don't suspect they will be washed at any time......
