sending you sunshine honeybee Postcard

Created this Postcard using a US stencil I had seen used on a couple other blogs & it was indicated that it could be found at Hobby Lobby so off I went to find it. After looking I found the letters & number stencil area & the decorative stencil area but did not find the US Map stencil. I asked a HL employee where were the stencils. She showed me the same 2 areas I had already looked in. Went over to rubber stamp area and there I found the US Map stencil. See below in my supply list for the details on the US stencil in case you want to know who the manufacturer is.

For front I used the US Map stencil with Tim Holtz Distress Ink faded jeans. Stamped a Hero Arts sentiment and added a HA Bee next to sentiment.

For back I used a Penny Black postcard stamp.

I used a Momenta die that is an Airmail postage stamp that is appropriate for this.
