Hi and welcome! Today is Freshly Made Sketch Challenge Day and our hostess this week is Narelle Farrugia. As soon as I saw her sketch, I saw postage stamps and that's the direction I took.
This is part of an earlier stenciled panel that I first used on this card. I used the Postage Collage die to select three pieces to die-cut and then added the additional postage-style stamps on them. The card base is white and onto that I added a Pastel Sunrise panel I'd stamped with the same colour ink and the Crackle background stamp. I used this stamp on the stenciled piece as well so this ties it together somewhat.
To finish the card, I stacked a BetterPress sentiment three deep and called it done.
Thanks so much for visiting. The DT have some gorgeous cards so I hope you'll check them out.
