Today I am sharing my first design piece for Crafty Individuals and the September challenge theme is 'The last days of Summer'. For me that immediately evoked feelings of being in Swanage with my Mum and Dad when they were alive, being outside the beach-hut on warm September days and just taking in the last of the sea-air for the year.
So here is my chunky postcard using stamp plates 119, 272 and 278. The postcard backing is a downloaded image from the Graphics Fairy.
I am looking forward to seeing how you interpret this theme and I will be back with another postcard in a few days.
