Again I have created two projects with today’s set – Nature’s Postage.
My first card is a collage, using all three of the postage stamp images, which I placed on the DP from 7Gypsies Avagnon pad, which was torn and distressed around the edges. I added two copper diecuts from Spellbinders Timeless Heritage Shapeabilities set, along with the oval sentiment panel.
My second card uses only one of the postage stamp images, stamped to look like a sheet – with one stamp ripped off. The black background was embossed with the Cuttlebug Kassie’s Brocade folder. To create a "perforated" line between the stamps, I used the Scor-Bug Embosser.
I love this funky little bee/flower set. A woman I work with gave it to me for my birthday.
Be sure to visit the rest of the team to see what they did with this beautiful set and comment on each blog. You have a chance to win one of the stamp sets to be released next month.
Here is the Blog Hop LINE UP for today, but LOOK for a NEW LINK LIST TOMORROW!!!
