Description:

This swapidea is given by @TerryF, in response to this link.

Take a nice postcard. This can be any kind of postcard, but it would be nice if it's old-looking in some way. Find a little cross stitch pattern in one of your books, or on the internet. Stitch the cross stitch pattern on your postcard. You can find instructions in the link. If there are any questions, just ask.

Make one card for one partner, and send it written and stamped (so no envelope, plastic sleeve, or full lamination)

I love this thanks for sharing @TerryF and @taeniura I would just like more parameters about the nice old-looking pc. Does that mean it should be a modern/new pc with a vintage look, like a reproduction vintage? I don't want to chose the wrong type of pc.

There is no wrong type of postcard :-) You can take any kind of postcard, but it would be nice if it's old-looking. The old-looking is not a requirement, so you can go each way with it. So yes, your modern/new pc with a vintage look will do fine. Or a postcard you've found in the thriftstore. I wouldn't even mind if someone makes his own card from a bookillustration on cardboard.

I'll change it in the swap description.
