Postman

Hi Everyone, here's a card I made for our fun postman. He delivered a couple of rolls of foil that had opened slightly, he apologised, I just said "that's fine it's my plaything!" He opened his eyes and said "OK then", I corrected his thoughts and told him they were for making crafty things. He went off laughing! SO, I thought I had better make a card with the offending crafty foil.

I coloured the image in Photoshop CS6 and added it to a digital paper with a sentiment just for him. When he came next, I gave it to him saying I had added the crafty stuff! He had a great smile, which made it worth it. :)

this shows the foil with a shine added in Silhouette to the digitally coloured image, which was printed and the foil added and cut in the next step. I added a darker layer to line up with the same, but, larger paper. It's been so difficult to get decent photos recently, with heavy rain and dark days. With nights starting to stretch out, hopefully it will get easier.

    Oh, that stamp is so adorable, Faith, and I love your story about the foils! lol Gave me a great giggle for the day. I'm back from my Christmas travels and am trying to get caught up on all me favorite blogs. As usual after a long travel time, I simply do't have time to do individual comments on everything posted while I was gone but I am browsing the entire blog and all the posts so that I don't miss anything. You know, this one should really have been entered at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies or even at Jan's Digi Stamps. Check my blog for links to either one of them. :-D
