Description:
Hello Mavens! For this swap you'll have 1 partner and to that partner you will send 1 5"x7" collaged postcard featuring 5 of the following 10 items: a map an animal washi tape Asian text a butterfly a crown a quote a clock a key a rose When I have selected my pieces, I like to use Mod Podge for paper to "seal" everything onto the background. Some swappers have mentioned that it dries "sticky," but that has not been my experience. If you know of a WONDERFUL product to use as a sealant for collage, could you post below in the comments? I am always looking for the next best thing ;+) Remember that 5"x7" will take first class postage--postcard postage only covers up to 4"x6" I believe. Send on time, remember to rate your partner's lovely creation and most of all--have fun!

I always go over the mod podge with an acrylic varnish, shiny, preferably!

I use Glue N' seal by Ranger. Love it! It comes in matte & glossy...

Do you need a storebought postcard and make a collage on it, or do you have to make the postcard yourself?

Why is this a type 1 swap?

@Terry9 please make the postcard yourself out of a sturdy backing.

@emsuiko thank you; I'll change it immediately. I always miss something!
