Happy Wednesday, peeps! I was lying in bed unable to sleep one night last week and remembered I had these cute tiny little stamps in my stash that would be good for a postage-style card. The stamps are pretty poor quality, but they are cute, and with a little TLC, I can usually get them to stamp a fairly good image. I already had a piece of Pool Party embossed with a snowflake embossing folder, so I used that as my starting point:
The card itself is notecard-sized. I used dies from Waffle Flower's Postage Collage set, then stamped the images and added some shading and coloring. A couple of stamped images from the Postage Collage stamp set added to the "postage" feel. Snowflake Sky is the embossing folder I used, and I sponged Craft White ink all over the embossing for that snowy look! A sentiment from Papertrey went on the inside.
And since the Double D Challenge has a beautiful winter theme, I am going to pop it in there, as well as the Can You Handle The Pressure challenge! (Thanks for the suggestion, Darlene!)
Thanks for stopping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
