Hello Crafty friends,
Sylvie @kaliscards here.
I have more postage stamp inspirations for you with the Postage stamp cover die and coordinating stencil, which I combined with the Birthday bouquet stamp and coordinating stencil.
To create these cards, I started by die cutting the Postage stamp cover die twice from white cardstock.
I placed one of the postage panel onto a sticky mat in my stamping press and layered the Postage stamp stencil over it. I then stamped the floral with black ink. Next, I stenciled the Birthday bouquet over it with Distress oxides:
Stencil 1 – Middle pattern: Tumbled glass and Salty ocean for the top and bottom flowers, Squeezed lemonade and Mustard seed for the roses
Stencil 1 – Side patterns: Twisted citron for the top and bottom flowers, Squeezed lemonade and Mustard seed for the roses
Stencil 2 – Left pattern: Twisted citron and Mowed lawn for the leaves, Squeezed lemonade and Mustard seed for the rose
Stencil 2 – Right pattern: Mowed lawn for the leaves and Wild honey for the rose
Stencil 3 – Left pattern: Milled lavender for the top and bottom flowers, Sqeezed lemonade and Mustard seed for the rose
Stencil 3 – Middle pattern: Wilted violet for the top and bottom flowers, Wild honey for the rose
Stencil 3 – Right pattern: Squeezed lemonade and Mustard seed for the top stencil and Wild honey for the bottom one.
For the second card, I used the following colors:
Stencil 1 – Middle pattern: Dried marigold and Ripe Persimmon for the top and bottom flowers, Tattered rose and Kitsch flamingo for the roses
Stencil 1 – Side patterns: Twisted citron for the top and bottom flowers, Kitsch flamingo and Worn lipstick for the roses
Stencil 2 – Left pattern: Twisted citron and Mowed lawn for the leaves, Tattered rose and Kitsch flamingo for the rose
Stencil 2 – Right pattern: Mowed lawn for the leaves and Worn lipstick for the rose
Stencil 3 – Left pattern: Worn lipstick for the top and bottom flowers, Tattered rose and Kitsch flamingo for the rose
Stencil 3 – Middle pattern: Festive berries for the top and bottom flowers, Kitsch flamingo and Worn lipstick for the rose
Stencil 3 – Right pattern: Tattered rose and Kitsch flamingo for the top stencil and Kitsch flamingo and Worn lipstick for the bottom one.
Next, I added a sentiment on each postage stamp, from the Avian allure stamp set and stamped them with black ink. I also stamped the prices and postage marks from the Special delivery set.
To finish the cards, I adhered the front panels onto the cardbases with foam tape.
Thank you for stopping by.
Have a wonderful day!
Sylvie
