The CCEE challenge for this week was given by Cindy. She challenged us to make a card with something to do with postage whether it have something to do with a postage stamp, a post card or postage edge. This one really threw me for a loop. The only thing I could think of to work with was deckled scissors. I started out with a completely different card. I changed my image mid stream when I ran across this paper by Lost and Found that went pretty well with my Texas images. I worked really hard trying to do a vintage card, vintage does not come easily for me. The scripture was smudged purposely to make it look old. My friends Tate and Kathy helped me with supplies they had given me for my stash. Thanks, a bunch, gals.
We would love for you to join us in the CCEE challenge. To see the details of the challenge and the other cards by the other CCEE team members check out the the CCEE Blog.
