hi there,
Here is my card for the WT challenge today, to recycle. I have a small collection of vintage postal stamps that worked just perfectly with the newly released bkg. stamp from Innovative Stamp Creations called This and That.
First I stamped the bkg. with Versamark and embossed with white. I rubbed on some Distress Inks, added the sentiment and the stamps, twine and button.
I am also playing along with the Speedy's Challenge at Mark's Finest Papers.
Hope you like it and thanks so much for looking.
Karen

How beautiful. I LOVE postage stamps. My family thinks I am nuts because for years I have saved every commemorative stamp I get my hands on. Someday I will be able to say that I have a vintage stamp collection. What a beautiful card and how special to send someone a couple vintage stampe.

Wow, that is so pretty. I love the old world effect/theme that you capture with these images and embellishments. Just wonderful. Thank you so much for playing along in Speedy the Cat's Challenge. It is a pleasure to come and visit and see your work. Hope you can play again with us next week.
Bear Hugs,
Carol
