Beautiful Day

Hi everyone!

Today starts a new challenge at the Day of the Month Card Club! 

This month we are celebrating 

 National US Postage Stamp Day

Make something with postage stamps or design a card in the shape of a postage stamp.

I'm not a stamp collector, but I keep the ones I like because you never know! ;))

For today's ATC, I made a collage with three postage stamps and a photo of a woman, which I cut out of a packing.

The woman was holding something in her hand, which gave me the idea of replacing this with a bouquet of flowers. I had several postage stamps to choose from, but quickly opted for the poppies and the gentian. 

As you can see on the image below, I also replaced the woman's head with a stamped image.

At the bottom of the ATC I added a remnant of a die-cut and a piece of washi tape. The background of the ATC is a leftover I found in my stash and on wich I stamped some background text.  

I have made templates for ATC, cards, mini moo cards etc. (cut out of clear packaging). 

This gives me a better overview of the layout.

Have Fun! ;)
