You've Got Holiday Mail!

Happy Christmas Eve! I just wanted to wish you aall a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday! I've saved some of the best for last. This is the Postage Collage Christmas from Waffle Flower.
I haven't been a big stencil fan until recently when I started playing with the Waffle Flower Craft Matt. It's a jelly mat that holds your paper and stencil in place while you ink. I had been using Pixie Spray light tack adhesive which is great for single layer stencils, but it becomes problematic when layering stencils because it leaves a slight residue behind thatgetsinked and looks messy to me.
The Postage Collage series has really become popular and I've got good news.. new sizes for different card bases will be available in January!
You don't have to add as many colors of ink to achieve a great design. I did because I can't resist a rainbow of color, and I wanted to get some practice in using the small detail brushes.
I used the coordinating Postage Collage Coloring Stencil for the blue and red "airmail" background and to add some subtle shading to the stamps.
This angle shot really shows how flat and mailable this card really is!
I'm playing along at 613 Avenue Create where the theme this time is Anything Goes with an Option of any winter holiday.

Have a great day and many blessings to you and yours!
