Don't you love those little stamps they sell at Michael's for only a $1. A couple of years ago I picked these up in their $1 section. Even better, they were in a two pack, 50 cents each!
I used some designer paper scraps I picked up at my local craft recycling shop The Upcycle Exchange in Saint Louis. Layer the paper onto your card. Next make an ATC sized card with a faux postage stamp template from SplitCoast Stampers
Of course you have to add some organdy ribbon or some sort of fiber!
The photo at the top has been embellished with Photoshop Element Brushes from http://www.obsidiandawn.com/ You can use the brushes for free or purchase a license for commercial use. I love them. This one was postage related brushes! Very Fun!
