SSCB #15 - Postage Stamp



Hi all, we have a new challenge over at Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog today, using the inspiration of Postage Stamps.

Look at these beautiful stamps for inspiration! Aren't they gorgeous! I was inspired by the beautiful Zinnia heads, in their pinky peachy tones. You can use any stamp you like to be inspired for this challenge.

So for my card I have used Hydrangea Large from the Serendipity Stamps shop, and coloured with Promarkers.


I cut the image with a Stampin' Up! die, and embossed duck egg blue Core'dinations card with a S.U folder.


I added some dusky pink gems for a little glitter, and some pink velvet ric-rac ribbon and pretty lace for a little vintage feel.


This card was quick and easy to make, the detailed image does all the hard work here! I love this card, so pleased how it turned out, I'm going to find it hard to part with this!

Do stop by the rest of the D.T for some more beautiful inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
