FREE: Handmade greeting card using vintage paper and postage stamps

The listing, Handmade greeting card using vintage paper and postage stamps has ended.

The winner of this auction will receive the handmade greeting card pictured here. I made it using a colorfully retro endpaper from an old children's ex-library book called Gravity is a Mystery and vintage cancelled stamps from France and England. And glue. It measures 4" by 4" and comes with a new white envelope which fits it well but needs to be gummed or taped shut -- the flap lacks adhesive.

A note on the card: the book was old and the paper nice and heavy, but folding it to make the card rubbed the edges a bit at the top where the fold lies. It's made in that old fashioned folded style and there's a little "bonus" message that can be read on the white side when the card is unfolded: "Gravity is a Mystery."

I hope that you enjoy this quirky card as much as I enjoyed making it.

Thanks for looking, and thanks for your bids.
