I have been a BIG fan of the stencils from The Ton company, but only get one every now and then because of their prices. I've also been a BIG fan of the postage collage stencils and dies, so when the Postage: Wildflowers stencil came out, cost didn't matter...HAD to have it!! I know, I know...I have a problem but truly have no desire to be cured!
I have 2 cards to share with you using the same stencil set, the first one being done in the colors they suggested. Take a look...
My 2nd card is basically the same, but I used different colors and a bit of background shading to come up with this...
A bit more colorful than my first card, but still happy with both of them. I did add a sentiment from WF's Paper Hug Sentiments and some postage stamps to add a bit more interest.
I did add foam tape behind my sentiment and also the "HUGS INSIDE" circle stamp/die cut. A bit of black & white bakers' twine and a single iridescent gem (PFS) finished off this 2nd card.
I am also going to add this card to the Stencil Fun Challenge where the challenge is summer themed and I'm thinking colorful flowers are always something I look forward to after a long and cold winter.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Oh my heart, these are both stunning! I can see why this stencil set needed to come home with you. It's in the perfect hands with you, my friend. I adore the first card with pinks and greens. So very pretty! The colorful flowers of the second card are fun and cheerful. Pure delight! I'm very tempted to go shopping right now.
They've found the perfect home with you, Marcia! Holy smokes are these ever pretty. I love both versions... link the second one up with us at JUGs too!
Marcia, these are so pretty! Did they create them to use with the WF die or have they made their own? The blue skies you've added to your second card bring your garden to life beautifully! I'm imagining some fun back-to-back stenciling coming to your playroom soon!

You are quick! These are beautiful. I love them both!
Fabulous, Girlfriend! Love the colors on both, and yes those dainty flowers are fantastic -- I might just have to find more options for the postage collage to fall into my basket!
