Shabby postage

This is a quick card using some postcard background paper that I've had for ages and never used. The stamp is 'timeless memories', one of my favourites that I had given to me for Christmas. It was stamped on to a piece of the inside of an old envelope, torn and edged and sponged with brushed corduroy distress ink. A bit of distressing also around the edges of the card and across the sentiment and the card was done.


It's for:

Die cut dreams 47: shabby chic
Quirky crafts 27: 'postal theme'
Incy wincy 41: colour challenge photo inspiration - brown, green, cream
The crafty pad 71: 'tear it up'
Jacksonbelle: 'CAS'
ABC: 'U is for unused stash' - the background paper has been in my box for a few years
Crafty creations 67: 'around the world'
Gingersnap GC53 chestnut theme: 'read'
The treehouse 49: 'masculine theme'
Alphabet: 'C is for chocolate colours'
Simple doodles 17: 'you're on my mind'
Stamp, scrap & doodle 40: 'masculine'
Lots to do week 19: 'stamped collage'
Etsy inspired 88: 'creation designs' - I chose rusty tool chime with nuts and bolts, for the colours:

Pile it on 19: 'photo inspiration':
