My third fabric postcard

Right before we left to the States I received a lovely envelope in the mail from my father in law's wife, Elaine chock full of vintage hankies. They are so lovely and I want to photograph some of them for you to see in the future. I wanted to make her something and I have also wanted to try my hand at making fabric postcards and this is my third effort. The first came out decent and I sent that to Gena so she could critique it and show me area of improvements. The second one wasn't fit for anything... lol...and I don't even know where it ended up! The third one came out great and this is the one I am sending to Elaine as a thank you for the hankies. The center print is a vintage 40s reproduction postcard fabric and when I saw this fabric on the shelf in Seattle I bought as much as my budget allowed.!
