My submission to Sunday Postcard Art came together through my desire to use some of the images from the 700 vintage greeting cards I received this week from my sister-in-law. (Click here to see some pictures.) I also found this grid stamp at a resale shop today while hitting the after-Christmas sales.
I think my SIL will be thrilled to see her card next year which is made from scanned images of the cards she gave me.
I think she'll also be glad to receive this Christmas ornament I made for her (already ahead on next year's gifts:). I had this little ornament book from last year which I found at Wal-Mart at the after-Christmas sales as well. I have not known what to do with it. It's pages are the size of an ATC.
I finally decided to print out scanned images of all of the Christmas cards my SIL gave me and insert them into this little book. I laid out nine on a page and then printed them on self-adhesive paper to make the job easier when adding them into the book.
The cover of the book had the wording on it already, but I added a Christmas tree rub-on.
I outlined each card (there's a total of 27 in this book) with gold pen. I then added distress ink around the cards and on the very white pages.
