That, friends, is a shot of my Master Tracking List for the Splitcoast Hope You Can Cling To month of challenges. Whew. I made it. The last card of my HYCCT marathon was for #1225A - Let's lick this thing. As in cancer. And as in postage stamps.
Well two years ago in an oh-so-cool gallery of shops next to the Hard Rock Cafe in Paris, I found a shop selling old postcards and stamps. Don't know if they were lost in the mail or cleaned out of someone's attic, but I love that there is so much personality/history to them, even if I don't know the story behind it. I like that I can make the story live on, in a way, by using the piece.
I merely added some Glimmer Mist spritzing, a hodge podge of embellies, washi and a brad before adhering the postcard to my cardbase.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.
