I was in WHSmiths the other day and came across these little watercolour postcards! You stamp and watercolour your image on the blank side and as you can see the back is just like an ordinary postcard! What a fab idea ?! So simple and a lovely alternative to making a whole card I think, kind of a bigger ATC!
So out has come my Stazon, new stamps and my watercolour pencils! I am thinking of putting a simple sentiment inbetween the bear and flowers such as 'Thinking of You' or something, not decided yet!
The brand are Winsor & Newton Cotman WaterColour Paper, there 15 cards at 140lbs/300gsm with a cold pressed finish and were either £1.99 or £2.99, I can't remember. Each card is 6 x 4 inches/ 15.2 x 10.2 cm. Bought at WHSmiths, but I am sure there are tonnes of other places they are available from!
Happy crafting!

What a fantastic idea these postcards are....in fact what a fantastic blog you have!!! I see I am not the first to say that!!! Sally, I would like to gift you with the ONE LOVELY BLOG AWARD (which I see you have been graced with previously!!) Your site is rich and I love your children element, how you show what you have found, how you instruct what other elements a person might like and, I must confess, the teddybears!!!
