I decided to use a resource I had previously created for a Pen Pal Girl Guide project for my grand daughter. You can see the details here. My daughter recently returned to me the remaining supplies from this project so I went about seeing how I could use them for a card for this evening. It seems appropriate to feature Canadian postage on cards this year considering that in less than a month we will be celebrating our 150th anniversary as a country. I trimmed the front off my sample card and it so very nicely was just the right size to layer evenly on an A2 card!! I simply added a green layer to it and then glued this large element to a black card front. So I combined the postage backgrounds with appropriate postage stamp focal elements along with a coordinating decorative paper background and black card fronts. They look pretty cool!! I did provide layered punchie greetings but most people chose to leave the cards without greetings. It does allow this card to be used for any occasion!! Those little postage stamps are such great little works of art!!
If you are inspired to create cards with used postage stamps please leave me a link in the comments section so I can go check them out!!!
