Tag Tuesday - POSTCARD CUTOUT

Louise (Kard Krazy) decided to retire from Tag Tuesday. It was one of my favorite challenge blogs. Fortunately, Rebbecca picked up Tag Tuesday! This is my first chance to play since the move. But I just HAD to do this one!

Last year I picked up some vintage postcards at the Farmer's Market here in Woodland Park (Colorado). They've been sitting on my desk waiting for the right moment to use them. This week's challenge is POSTCARD CUTOUT. I admit, I did NOT cut my card but I'll tell you why...

...first, it's a VINTAGE POSTCARD OF PARIS! Furthermore, it's a TWA "Kodachrome" postcard. Too fun - reminds me of my grandpa's slides. Anyway, I wanted to keep the post card intact.

The base is a "postcard" tag that I found in Seattle last summer. It too has been waiting for the right time.

I did some stamp pad rubbing on the postcard tag. The plane is from Tim's new set AIR TRAVEL.

Stamps: Stamper's Anonymous AIR TRAVEL
Paper: postcard tag, vintage postcard
Ink: Distress Ink: Pumice Stone, Faded Jeans, Stormy Sky, Fired Brick
Accessories: Stickers (stamp), bottle cap, twine

  3. I love the colors and the eifel (sp) tower. My SIL is from france and I have this tower on some really old post cards my Dad brought back from Paris during WW11. This makes me think of him. I love it.
