Going Postal 2013: Making a virtue of repetition ... and repetition.

Hi hi [apologies if you've already seen this in your blog reader ... small scheduling mix-up!]

If you've been tempted to try something a bit postal-inspired and decide to start collecting the stamps that drop through your door don't worry if you keep receiving the same design of stamp again and again.

Just make a virtue from the repetition:
Just create a focal point from a row of identical stamps and pull the rest of the card together by picking out colours from the stamps and then using the same colour palette right across the card for emphasis:
For the less patient [who don't want to wait for a collection to drop onto their doormat] I've created a range of  'Instant Stamp Collections' which are currently available in colour-coordinated packs or themd around: Christmas; Plants + Flowers and Birds + Animals.
