Hi everyone, it's Natalia here today with a very seasonal card for the summer!
I love this time of year, when it allows me to embrace those coastal themes and just pack a load of sunshine into my cards.
So of course, it's time for one of my favourite Postage Collage sets from Waffle Flower to come out!
As always I armed myself with my trusty double-ended shader 1 brushes, raided my ink drawer for plenty of blue and yellow tones to vary the colour tones in each postage window, and grabbed one of the ready-cut Postage Collage panels I keep in the storage pocket for the set.
The Postage Collage Beach Days stencils have three layers and are etched to indicate what the various spaces colour in - super easy and minimal masking needed.
Once the stencil layers were done, it was time to go in the with the stamped details from the coordinating Postage Collage Beach Days stamp set.
And for a British seaside twist, I used the Royal Mail stamp set to add the stamp value details.
I also love using the Postage Collage Coloring stencils to add the airmail style border around my card base - in red and blue tones inspired by a stick of rock.
I added a piece of light blue cardstock behind the Postage Collage panel to make it stand out and just needed to add a finishing sentiment.
Enter, yet again, the wonderful Laid Back Basics set from The Greetery!
I just love how these sentiments can be placed anywhere thanks to the outline dies, and the font is just perfect for so many occasions.
Until next time, happy crafting!
