These would be great for a simple “man card”! Thanks!

[@ellencrimitrent]

Great idea!

[@nanschifris8734]

I was recently gifted 2 boxes of 100% cotton postcards and have been wondering what to do with them without spending too much time. This is a wonderful idea & I can knock out half a dozen in less than an hour and have nice little cards for saying “thank you” or “I’m thinking of you.” Thanks so much for sharing this idea!

[@ellencrimitrent]

You are so welcome!

[@supermom-nocape9831]

That's a great idea!

[@marytesta3003]

Thanks for the reminder. I have 2 boxes of those postcards😅

[@patvickery6890]

[@marjo-riittareinikainen9740]

[@theresaavery4670]

Love this so much! I taught a workshop last night and a couple students felt stuck because they felt they couldn't draw. This would be a perfect theme for all the "I can't draw" people. I can't wait to try this! Thank you, Ellen!
