Description:

I used to do this on greetingcards, but it looks fine on postcards too.

You need:

1) plain color of cardboard (I used brown) and a piece of paper in the same color

2) large different plain color of paper (I used yellow)

3) 2 different pieces of decorated (scrap) paper

4) nice image/illustration

The card exists of three parts: card, border and image. Each part exist of 3 layers of paper.

First part (the card) exists of 1) the cardboard color from about 4"X6" 2) the colored paper a little bit smaller than the card 3) decorated paper a little bit smaller than the colored paper.

Second part (the border) exists of 1) a border of decorated paper, that fits on your card from the left to the right 2) colored paper on both sides a little bit wider 3) second colored paper on both sides a little bit wider.

Third part (the image) exists of 1) the image/illustration 2) colored paper on all sides a little bit wider 3) second colored paper on all sides a little bit wider.

Put the border-part on the lower side of the card, and put the image-part on the upper side of the card, with a small overlapping on the border. I hope the swap-image explains clear :-)

Make sure everything is stuck well ( postal system proof) and send it written and stamped (without an envelope).

My illustration already had the decorated flowers around it. That is not something you have to do extra on the card. If your illustration has it, it's fine, but if it hasn't, it's fine too.
