Those of you that have followed me for any length of time know that I'm a BIG fan of the postage collage stencils, stamps, and dies, and I hadn't used the Postage Collage Spring Breeze Stencils from WF that came out last year since then, so it was time to pull them out! Here's what I came up with...
It's a set of 5 stencils and I used mostly turquoise, green & lilac inks to stencil in all the sweet butterflies. Don't think I've ever seen any in these actual colors, but artistic license ya know?! After stamping the postage amounts and cancellation marks, I adhered the panel to a piece of Almost Amethyst (ret. SU!) cs and a white card base.
My sentiment is from WF's Love You die and the die cut butterfly is from SSS's Flourish Butterfly Trio set of dies. A bit of WOS was added to the die cut butterfly and I finished the card off with a few Cream Puff Embellishments from SSS. This card will be going to my mom in a few weeks for Mother's Day.
Lots of beautiful inspiration from the DT that you can find right HERE, so check it out and pull out a stencil or two and play along. This challenge is open till Wednesday, April 29th @ 6:00PM.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
I too am obsessed with the postage collage stamps...I have a bunch I need to ink up. I love the colors you chose for the butterflies and blooms. So calming and lovely.
