Tonight I had an idea for a card that I wanted to try that will also fit the criteria for this week's challenge at "Less is More" - the challenge is to create a Christmas card that features a bird. It is possibly the most simple card that I have made. The design is simple and the card is tiny (approximately 10cm square about 4").

| First class stamp and not a lot more!! |
My brother is an avid stamp collector and always saves the Christmas ones for me - they are a pain to get off the envelopes but I think they are so pretty it is worth the effort.
I made a second one - same design different postage stamp!
If you are very lucky the postmark can be useful!
Enjoy
What a brilliant idea!

Brilliant idea, Elaine. These are such fab little cards. Thanks so much for you continued support and lovely comments on my blog, it really is so much appreciated :) xx
ReplyDeleteAnother clever creation, Elaine. I had to laugh when you refered to your 4" card as tiny. My square cards measure 4-1/2" and I think they're HUGE! LOL
