F4A314...Going Postal...2/26/2016

F4A314



Since most of our cards are sent through the mail, today's challenge is to create a card or project that honors the postal system. (And don't you secretly think that crafters are helping to keep the postal system afloat with our online orders, swaps, and card sending? I do! hehe)

Use an old postage stamp, add an envelope, use post themed stamps...
we want to see how you interpret this theme!!

Dawn- awesome challenge, thanks! Used an oldie but goodie stamp set- Coffee Time by Rubbernecker for my sentiment. Coffee image is from a repurposed insulated cup, and I re sized the manilla envelope, removed the flap, then dry embossed it with Sizzix's wood grain ef, finally reattaching the flap and tying it down with double baker's twine in yellow and black. Here's Coffee Friends. TFL!
