.... Good afternoon! It's absolutely beautiful here in North Wales. The sky is blue, and the sun is shining, and, more importantly, it's lovely and warm too. And I've spent the morning making a birthday card for my friend:
Stamps: Waffle Flower - Sweet Birthday Sentiments, Postage Collage, Postage Collage Sew Fun
Inks: Versafine Clair - Nocturne; Gina K - Soft Stone, Stormy Sky, Light Orchid, Medium Orchid, Dark Orchid
Stencils: Waffle Flower - Postage Collage Sew Fun, Postage Collage Blocks Stencil, Postage Collage Coloring Stencil
Dies: Waffle Flower - Postage Collage Die, Sweet Birthday Sentiments
Accessories: White Card; SU Card - Smoky Slate; White Posca Pen
I had so much fun making this card. Heather, my friend, is a whiz with the sewing machine. She makes lots of her own clothes, so this is perfect for her. I die cut the postage stamp panel from white card, used the co-ordinating Sew Fun stencils and inks to create the little stamps, and finished by adding postage marks in black ink. I used the PC Coloring Stencil to make the airmail border on an A2 white note card. I layered the stamp panel on grey card and added the whole piece to the A2 card. I finished the front with a simple birthday greeting. On the inside, I cut a mat layer of grey card, and on the white panel stamped a birthday greeting and a couple of sewing images.
I'm submitting this card to AAA Birthday Challenge - AAAB#85 where it's their 7th birthday and the theme is Anything Birthday Goes. I'm also playing along with Color Hues - CH#133 where the colours are lime green and violet.
This card is going in the post this afternoon and should reach Heather in plenty of time. That's all for now. See you soon.

Deborah, this is so terrific and your friend is going to love it. I certainly wish I liked to sew, but sadly I do not. I am not sure I have seen a card made with this set that is half as good is this one. You nailed it! Thanks for sharing at Color Hues.

A Bank Holiday weekend with wall to wall sunshine is a rare thing, I must admit to hunkering down in my craftroom when the temperature rises too. What a fabulous postage stampe style card and so well themed for your friend. Thanks for joining in at Color Hues too. :)
