Sending our love

Hey everybody, happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a a postage floral silhouette card. Yep, I’ve jumped on the postage collage bandwagon and have collected a few sets. For this card, I used our Savoy Brilliant White Cotton cardstock for the postage collage panel which takes ink blending very well. Then I added some Yellow Jacket and Beetle Black Canvas Textured cardstock to the mix. And, of course, I used some Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock for the inside panel. I totally love how this turned out!

Using the Waffle Flower Postage Collage Die, I die cut the focal panel from Savoy Brilliant White Cotton cardstock and inked it using the coordinating Waffle Flower Postage Collage Coloring Stencil, a few blending brushes, and Ranger mermaid lagoon, twisted citron, cracked pistachio and fossilized amber distress inks. Then, using the Waffle Flower Wild Flower Silhouettes stamp set, I stamped images in each section in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Next, I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Yellow Jacket Canvas Textured cardstock and adhered a die cut postage edge panel (cut from Beetle Black Canvas Textured cardstock using the Pinkfresh Studio Postage Edge Nested Rectangles). I stamped a sentiment from the Honey Bee Fall Swags stamp set on a scrap piece of Solar White in Versafine Onyx Black ink and cut it with the coordinating Honey Bee die. The finishing touch was adding several gold pearls from the Kat Scrappiness Gold Pearl Mix.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White and embellished it with a strip of the Yellow Jacket cardstock. I stamped another sentiment from the Honey Bee stamp set in Onyx Black ink as well as an additional floral silhouette image, and layered the panel on another Beetle Black postage edge panel like I cut for the front.
