Hey friends! I’m excited to be on the Newton’s Nook blog today with a fun way to use the postage sampler collection, not as postage stamps! Those are fun but sometimes they get old or they aren’t what you’re in the mood for. These sets are good for so much more though!
This one really called to me with that great big sentiment! I knew it needed to be in the center of my icon grid. So I pulled it out plus a handful of others, stamped and colored everything. Next, I used the coordinating dies to cut it all out.
Taking my vibe from the colors I used on the images, I cut a piece of white cardstock with the largest Framework die and taped off the edges. Then I ink blended distress oxide inks from kitsch flamingo to scattered straw, that was light so I added a little carved pumpkin at the bottom and blended it back up. Then I spritzed the panel with water and blotted it dry. SO PRETTY!
Next, I arranged my images on the panel and popped each one up with foam squares. I took my gray ink pad direct to the edges of my card base and then popped the framework panel up on that with foam tape too.
To finishing things off I added bits of glossy accents and stardust Stickles to different images, not all but most of them.
