Perfect

Gooood morning! I hope this 2nd day of our brand new year is finding you jacked to be alive!

I'm feeling extra-productive today, as I really got a lot done yesterday and it makes me feel great. It's funny how it can snowball and pretty soon you're "in the zone", don't cha think?

Today I would like to share a few more post cards with you that I made for the Poetic Post Card trade for which I'm the Trade Mistress. I sure wish I could get the camera to take shots that do them justice. In a way, I suppose this will be a nice surprise for the recipients, eh? :o)

First is the poem I wrote for the pink one, which is called "Perfect". Oh wait. Here is how I did it:

I took a piece of background fabric, cut a heart stencil out of cardstock, then painted hearts in pink, white and silver (no yellowish as it looks). Fast-dried the paint with a heat gun. Free-motion stitched around them in a pink geranium thread and then more stitching in pink in between the hearts. Topped it off with the transparency with the poem on it as well as another clear transparency to protect the words (I haven't yet figured out how to print the words backwards and I'm getting pretty frustrated about it!). Stitched a bit more and voila. Enjoy! Make it a wonderful day!

A summers eve in August, feels like it was yesterday;
The moon so bright, the air so hot, my will was giving way.
The sweetened honeysuckle nectar gave my senses wings,
As I fell into your eyes and thought so many lustful things.
Your lips, so soft and hungry, how they stole my heart right then.
And I never felt that way before and I haven’t e’er again.
As we both were taken over, as our bodies became one,
I snapped awake and cried because the perfect dream was gone.
