Description:

Select a used or new postage stamp that inspires thoughts of love. It could be a valentines day stamp, it might be red roses, the choice is yours. Then use that stamp (or part of it) in your ATC.

To keep the challenge up to all you creatives you will need to include the following elements:

  1. The stamp or part of the stamp.

  2. The word LOVE somewhere - bold or discrete is your choice.

  3. A red rose.

  4. A brad.

Now you may have a stamp with the word love on it and a red rose so you meet 3 elements straight away. But perhaps you might like to stretch yourself and see what else you can do???

Make something you are happy to send and receive. Spread the Love!

Looking for to see if I have a suitable stamp so I can join in.

I can manage the stamp and red rose, haven't had ANY luck using brads. Usually end up with a mashed bit of metal and/or a messed up ATC. :( I'm gonna practice "bradding" this weekend and maybe I can join. :)

charlottenc I found it easy if you poke a hole in the card with a needle first it will slip right in

I have trouble with brads, too. I just cut the backs off and glue the flat brad to the card and it has worked great for me. No bulge in the back either.

Does this have to be an actual Postage Stamp, or can we use a Rubber Stamp? I am having a hard time finding a love postage stamp. Thank you.

Hi b4ustamp. Yes it has to be a postage stamp but the theme is quite open in that it is a stamp that inspires thoughts of love for you. It could be flowers or a mother and child, perhaps a gorgeous landscape or a delightful animal. You just have to make it express love. Don't panic - I'm sure you will come up with something.
