See Through Postcard Fun

I had paper dolls on my mind after I printed off the paper doll postcard for my niece a few weeks ago.  I decided to cut out some paper dolls, and run them through my laminator with some thin sequins and silk flowers for a see through postcard.  I laid everything out so that I had enough space to address the card on the back of the doll, and arranged everything to fit in the standard 4x6 postcard size.  I outlined the 4x6 rectangle with a sharpie since it was hard to see the edge of the postcard.  I mailed it to my sweet niece (with a standard postcard stamp,) and she loved it.  I have never seen anything like this before, so I thought that I would share.

Paper Doll Postcard

I know I am way too old for this, but I still like paper dolls.  When the Graphics Fairy posted this one last week, I knew that my niece needed it.  I re-sized it to standard 4x6 postcard size, and touched up the doll's face (she was kind of creepy looking in the original.)  If you click, you should be taken to the full size image.  It costs around 15 cents to print a photo, and 28 cents to mail a postcard - so for under 50 cents you have one very delighted little girl, who will hopefully be amused with the doll for a least a little while.

Because my niece is a little young to really play with paper dolls with removable clothing, I also made a version where the doll is dressed in all three outfits.  So share some cheap fun with a little girl that you know :-)
