Deutsche Bundespost ATC

This artist trading card is a companion piece to Excess Value, which was completed first.  I decided to not let the other half of my Flinch card go to waste.  That is the great thing about making ATCs:  even the smallest scraps can pack a big punch.

The pretty red postage stamp from Germany was in a packet of goodies from my fellow gluebook page enthusiast Marie of Lost Bird Studio.  The background text is from a late 1800s German prayer book and the Berlin postage cancellation is actually a rubber stamp.


We're in the middle of a major blizzard right now, with 14 to 18 inches of snow expected by the time all is said and done.  I already have a three foot snowdrift down the driveway, and the storm isn't over yet. 

Stay safe and warm, everyone!
