Postbox/Mailbox. I have three cards to share.
My first card uses a digi from Delicious Doodles called 'Jolly Holly Post box'.
I have coloured using my Graph'it and Promarker pens. Edged with both silver and gold gel pens. Once I had finished colouring I die cut using my spellbinders Romantic Rectangle. The sentiment is by Studio Light from their Winter Memories stamp set which I heat embossed using Wow gold powder. I layered onto gold metallic cardstock and then a base card made with Dark Evergreen Cardstock.
Entering this card into the following challenges:
Ally's Angels #31 Anything goes.
Crafty Cardmakers # 251 Embossing dry/wet.
Polkadoodles Craft Challenge #week 9 Anything goes.
Jan's Digi Challenges #8 Anything goes.
Crafty Sentiments Designs #Anything goes.
Through The Craftroom Door # Anything goes.
Aud Sentiments #245 Anything goes.
Creative Moments #185 Anything goes.
Creative Knockouts #339 Diecuts/punches.
Colour Crazy #week 8 Anything goes.
The next two cards are recycling shop bought christmas cards that I received last year and were much too useful to throw out.
On this one I have cut the card out using my Crafts-Too Square scalloped edge PCD77. The sentiment was salvaged from the inside of a received card and die cut using an SU punch. Layered up with red cardstock to match the post box and then blue cardstock used to make the card base.
I am off to see what the rest of the girls have come up with. Hope everyone is staying safe and warm in this awful weather. We nipped down to the village yesterday for food supplies and got caught in a hail storm. Luckily it didn't last and by the time we got back home the sun was out but not for long though.

Three wonderful cards and they all look great!
Love that stamped image.
it is really pretty. Wish we had those postal boxes over here. Ours are huge modern metal boxes that hold smaller mail boxes for a number of people in the neighbourhood. Each person is assigned a key for their own small box.
A great selection of Post Boxes and especially like the first with the Holly.
