I really liked the design of the card that she had done, so I went with that idea. I wanted it to look vintage and masculine. I didn't have the steampunk stamp that she used in her background so I used a different Stamp for mine. I added some clear plastic numbers cut out of Tim's Word Play Die that I got for Mother's Day. I love this die, it's so cool. Anyway, I cut out the plastic and then added some alcohol inks to it so it would match. I also added one of Tim's mini gears and some screw brads.

I have also been in quite a few fabric postcard swaps lately and I'm really new at this type of thing so mine are really simple. Fabrics are tough for me. I joined a silhouette fabric PC swap and decided to use the Tim Holtz rainman die to cut out my figure in black fabric, I added it to this really bright and cool fabric and used Adirondack black ink pad to stamp the wording. I love the way it came out. I finished the edging with black thread.

Love that masculine card.... great texture and layering! Cool fabric stuff too... I'm working on something with fabric for the first time in a long time. You make it look easy!
