I need to get outside soon to get my walk in as WI weather is going to degenerate back to winter slightly.
Lyn has challenged us to do a slim line card, which I love to do. I haven't been buying much 'slim line' stuff, as I figure I can make do with what I have. But I'm partial to postal images so I decided to buy this slim line postal stamp. The sentiments are from Club Scrap.
Again, I'm very frustrated with myself because I wanted to do her exact corner treatment, since I have that punch and haven't used it in forever, which is maybe why it's missing. I don't have my punches scattered all around, they're very contained, so no idea. So I used another older SU corner punch and then used some old metal photo corners. I used simple sepia stamping like she did. Besides the sentiments, I used a postage stamp commemorating the 100th anniversary of air mail from the UK to Australia (1919-2019) and a little envelope charm I found. The envelope opens so a little message could be inserted.
I'm sure many of you are not so sure parcel post is better. After what we went through last November and December, I think the postal service is still figuring things out. I am missing a piece of mail myself, sadly. More frustrating for the sender, right?!

Love this Jean and especially the England to Australia stamp. I love the stamp you used. I don't do many slimline cards so it would be a waste for me but I'm sure I have lots of stamps I can use to improvise. I am also trying not to buy...that in itself is challenging. TFS Happy day

Yes, the mail has been unexpectedly Sloooooooow, but I Love your slimline card, Jean! Your envelope charm is Adorable! It's so much fun to receive snail mail since it's almost obsolete any more.
