AHSC672 Monochromatic Postage

Happy Monday, everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend! Dana & I went to see a musical production of Little Women on Friday night, produced by a local theater group! It was fun! I never thought of it being set to music, but it worked!

Today it's time for a new sketch from Atlantic Hearts:

I had several ideas for this sketch, but I recently got an interesting embossing folder called Postage Mosaic--it's a big one and it has several postage-stamp images on it, so I thought I'd give it a go.  I embossed a half sheet of Very Vanilla and fussy-cut some of the images out to create my card today:


I added some embossed stitching around the edges as well as on the horitzontal panel, and mounted it all on a Basic Beige card.  I stamped a scalloped border image from the new SU Scalloped Wishes, along with a Papertrey sentiment, using Basic Beige (which really looks green to me) and Versamark, then heat-embossed it all with clear embossing powder.  Here's a closeup of the embossing (and I have more images with which to make additional cards!):



I added a simple birthday sentiment on the inside from the same PTI set:

And since the Double D Challenge this week is books or postage, I am going to enter it there as well!


I was definitely inspired by the lower right image--look at all those beautiful stamps!  

I hope you'll play along with our Atlantic Hearts sketch this week....you can see all the details over at our blog!  Thanks for visiting today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!
