      Very First Postcard-01.jpg

      So tomorrow I'm placing an order for my very first postcard - eek!! I'm sending it out to people in both the children's illustration market and the surface design market so I chose a piece that I thought might work as a crossover. And I think I've decided I like little conversation bubbles, lol!

      I left one bubble empty so that I can personalize the front of the card.

      Who else is with me in sending out your very first cards?

            @Amber-Lynn-Benton cute! Snow tires made me lol
            I have mine leftover from scbwi conference I still need to mail out. Mine from Moo are coated on the art side that make pens difficult on it, just something I noticed if you are planning on writing on it!

                  @Heather-Bouteneff I’ll try some sharpies on my business cards to experiment - buying uncounted cards from this online printer was more expensive - thanks for the heads up.

                      Love the design and how you handle watercolor. Also, love the personalized speech bubble.

                          Awh this is so lovely, think the crossover is great between the surface design and children's illustration! I've just finished making my first postcard too and am so excited to see how they arrive! Best of luck with it πŸ˜ƒ
