Hello everyone! I’m here today with another card featuring some of the holiday releases from Ranger Ink and Simon Hurley Create! I love these fun vintage postage images in the Christmas Postage stamp set. I have had a few colored and cut out on my desk for a while but creating a card with them was eluding me every time I tried. Then, everything came together. It’s funny how that works sometimes.
My images are stamped and watercolored on watercolor paper and then fussy cut out. I added foam squares to the smaller ones and popped them up on the larger image.
For my background, I layered the stars from the Sparkling Stars stencil set over a piece of light teal cardstock and blended loch ness Stellar Ink over the top. I removed that and placed the sparkle layer over the panel and spread fool’s gold Astro Paste through that layer.
When that was dry, I used a corner rounder punch on the panel and wrapped jute twine around the left side, tying it in a bow toward the top. Then I added foam tape to the back, avoiding the twine so it lays flat. Next, I ink blended the edges of a kraft panel with weeping willow Stellar Ink and glued that to a card base.
Finally, I removed the release paper on the foam tape and popped my teal panel on the kraft card front. Isn’t this such a fun and whimsical design?!? I’m so happy I waited it out and didn’t force the previous designs I tried.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
