Make a watercolour doodling design on a postcard. Tangles design is also allow on this swap. Design is sender’s choice. Be creative and have fun while doing it.

It is good to use watercolour paper for this craft. If not make sure to use a good quality paper that can hold watercolour well.

Postcard size 6 by 4inch. You can do 5 by 7inch if want to go bigger. Just bear in mind the postage cost. Postcard can mail naked or in clear plastic. Remember to write your name, swap bot name and the swap bot theme.

9" X 6" is the largest size for a postcard stamp in the US.

@DaisnyNY Wow… That is so huge!

That's not accurate. A postcard must be "rectangular in shape and no larger than 6" x 4.25" Anything larger than that requires a Forever Stamp or 51 cents. This is also true of a regular sized postcard in a plastic sleeve BUT it's really inconsistent on whether or not they enforce this. The stamp is also required to be on the OUTSIDE of the plastic sleeve - but I have received some with the stamp on the inside that the post office chose to deliver.
