I absolutely love old street posts and I walk past one like this pictured on my card on the way to the railway station every morning. As I have mentioned before I enjoy the challenge of including objects of everyday life in my cards. When I purchased this Prima wooden sign I had no idea how I was going to use it on my cards and then I got the idea of using it as a vintage style street sign.
The street post is a free image and the love birds are part of a digital wedding set I purchased sometime ago. I don't have the details of where the birds were purchased from but if I find the details will update later on. For this card the birds, street post, sentiment and border were printed on white cardstock. I added the "I do" wooden embellishment from the Something Blue range by Prima to the cardstock with self adhesive dimensional foam.
