Carte Postale

I made these set of cards to submit to Stamping & Papercraft, and 1 of the 4 was accepted into the Readers Gallery! I'm pretty happy with that as it was my first submission! I'll keep you posted on when it'll be published! Here are the 3 that were 'rejected'.The first is a post card and envelope set. The insert can be taken out of the little triangle fold envelope. It's roughly 9.5cm by 9.5cm. Its quite a cute little set. I finally found something to use the 'Carte Postale' stamp on!!! It doesn't look quite right on the normal size cards I've made.
* STAMPS: Carte Postale
* CARD STOCK: So Saffron, Always Artichoke, Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant and Enchante paper
* INK: Always Artichoke
* ACCESSORIES: 3/4 inch circle, Chunky Certainly Celery Grosgrain ribbon

This one is a tri-fold card and uses the same stamp set as well as French Flair (without the birds!!! Sorry Adele!) I just turned over the Enchante paper to get the different pattern.
With this card I used my circle punch to punch out the circles down the side, then attached the flower to the inside of the card so they show 'through' the circles-something different that adds a new dimension to the card. This card also uses Vintage Brads and Olive Organdy Ribbon.

I find it funny that they accepted the one I liked the least!!! Stay tuned, I'll let you know when the magazine is out!!!
