Addicted to CAS Postage Christmas

 Happy Wednesday, everyone! I have a quick little clean and simple card today--another Christmas one--for the Addicted to CAS challenge of "postage"!

Last year I got some vintage Christmas postage stamp images from Elizabeth Crafts, so I thought they would be great for the challenge:

Using a Waffle Flower postage die, I cut out two stamps from Basic Beige cardstock and stamped my images in Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce inks, then added some register stamps on a Crumb Cake card behind them:

I have been longing to try to "speckles" on my card to give it a more vintage look, so I watered down some Craft White ink and using my aquapainter, tapped it on the handle of another paintbrush and it didn't turn out too badly.  Looks like snow, although some of them have a more of a raindrop look! I need practice! And just to show you that even after 25 years of stamping, there are still things to learn:

Be sure your Cherry Cobbler ink is fully dry on your Crumb Cake card BEFORE you add your speckles.  Better yet, speckle first, THEN stamp!  I hope the recipient won't mind the blurry sentiment, LOL!

Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!
