i repurposed some cardboard from my USPS postage stamp order by cutting it down to 4 x 6-inches.
i had some autumn leaves paper left over from another project, so i cut it 3.75 x 5.75-inches and adhered it to the cardboard. i cut a scrap piece of plain white cardstock to fit on the postcard (about 2.75 x 3-inches) and rubber stamped the poppies from the Papertrey Ink Botanical Silhouettes stamp set in Stampin' Pad Tangerine Tango and Old Olive. the sentiment is from Papertrey Daydreamer set (inked in black) and the butterfly is from the TJ Design Elements stamp set and inked in Stampin' Pad Marina Mist.
there are no butterflies on the back, but i hand stamped everything and thought it turned out quite nice.
everything is inked in black: the Postcard stamp i found on Ebay, the airmail and center border stamps are from TJ Design Elements stamp set, "Please Deliver To:" is from Paper Pastries, the date stamp i found at an office supply store, "from" is from the Inkadinkado Holiday Tag stamp set, "hippofairy" is a custom personalized rubberstamp, and the postage stamp border is from Papertrey Ink's Postmarks stamp set.
