\nToday I have a card that reminds me of the series of floral postage stamps. I love that it lends itself so well to using just bits of several floral sets. You could even use parts of leftover backgrounds. I used a set of postage rectangle dies for the “stamps”.<\/em><\/span>

\nFor the Inspiration Challenge IC1006 we are visiting Ballard Design & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS<\/a><\/em><\/span> picture. It reminded me of floral postage stamps so that the direction I went.

\nTo make my faux postage stamps, I started w\/ any small pieces of paper & die cut several w\/ the smallest postage rectangle die at their true size (the longest ones). Four of them were cut half way, the paper turned around, the die moved in & matched to the cut notches, then the other half cut. This allowed me to make the shorter ones. Then I positioned the different flowers on the postage cuts, stamped & colored them. I used a black marker to edge them before attaching them to brushed gold rectangles & onto a black background. The pink background was cut using the largest postage die. I had the embossed greeting already done so I added it to a white tag & popped it up on top. Here’s a little tip: when you stamp or heat emboss little greetings, make a few extra & stick them in the package. You’ll be all set to go next time you need one!
