I had to send a "Thank You" to my son who hosted our holiday get-together, so I tried out my new Postcard stamp; just some Distress inks on the front and some decorating on the back as seen in the second photo with a short message I want to practice with this stamp and try a different type of background for the back next time.
Warning: The U.S. Post Office will charge regular mail fees instead of post card rates if the postcard has any attachments, ribbons, staples - you get it. You might get away with it once, but it will either come back to you or the recipient will have to pay the remainder of the postage due.
