This months IGGPPC Craft Challenge is making 3-5 postcards. Luckily I had bought a pack of plain postcards to work with.<br />

I got the idea to make these from Raindrops <a href="https://splatteringraindrops.wordpress.com/2015/08/08/hello-world/">blog</a> which she writes a tutorial on how to design her Sunny Bunny Postcards. I adored the graphics she used from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/OddballArtCo?ref=l2-shopheader-name">OldballArtCo </a>and purchased a couple of designs from there.<br />
<br />
I only had watercolours in the house at the time so I used different colours for the backgrounds..<br />

I downloaded, printed, coloured and cut out the graphics I had bought and stick them on to the now dried postcards.</div>

This year I'm taking part in <a href="http://geekgirlpenpals.com/camp/">IGGPPCamp</a> (International Geek Girl Pen Pal Club) being held August 13th to 18th.<br />
<br />
<br />
A few early activities are taking place before registration, one of these is the <a href="http://geekgirlpenpals.com/camp/friendship-bracelets/">Friendship Bracelet</a>, It works by creating a Primary section which represents you. Add your primary section to the IGGPPC sections and add the beginning and end segments to complete the bracelet. Make friends with other campers by swapping primary segments with each other :-).<br />
