Seaside slide mailer

Used some of the new images from Crafty Individuals 'People and Places 2' book to alter a double microscope slide mailer. I painted the whole thing blue and added a bit of distressing with some dabbers. The frame around the beach huts is CI - 181, the one with the bird in the middle.
Obviously the bird has been hidden with an image from the new book, but it shows the versatility of rubber stamps, as it's a lovely frame. I added garden string as a tie, finished off with coupons from the CI-239.
The middle of the mailer.......the sentiment was stamped using a small lower case alphabet.



And the back, the beach huts simply keep the twine in place.



That's all for now, but I can tell you I have used the chipboard frames, they are gorgeous, and will be sharing them with you all soon.
