Vintage Book Covers=lovely postcards

I have been the "victim" of an increasing amount of random and totally unexpected kindness.
So, I have been working on thank you's. I love to make cards that are aren't quite the normal type seen in everyday correspondence. If you've been following my posts for a while, you'll know about my hoard of book covers. These are some of my vintage book covers repurposed to make postcards:

The first task: trim off any extra material. The cover paper/cloth is adhered very well, so I was able to trim the covers to size without needing to re-glue any of it.

Next: I dipped the edges in a little ink.

Then I used my new postcard stamp to add the final touch.

Now...to find some special postage stamps for these cards...
