Postage Collage Herb Silhouettes

Today I'm playing at Crazy is our Fame - Stencils are our Game Challenge Blog! If you love stencils, you really need to check them out.

I love the Postage Collage Series from Waffle Flower Crafts. I never thought they'd have so many different designs to choose from and each release is better than the last.

This one starts with the Postage Collage Waves stencil that was inspired by one of my very own cards. I made a wavy background masking with sticky notes. I don't need to do that any more now that this stencil set is available!

Once I inked the blocks I just stamped the Herb Silhouettes and then topped the inky panel with a die cut frame. The "air mail" stripes are from the Postage Collage Coloring stencil set. I inked them in colors to coordinate with the window colors.

I'm usually a brights gal, but I'm really happy with these more toned down colors turned out! It's a good reminder to try something you might not be so comfortable with.

Sow Glad We're Friends

Today I'm playing along at Ellibelle's Corner - Garden Party No. 18 where it's anything in or from a garden. Ok so how many of you out there have a garden gnome? Hand raised here! I've got him tucked in a secret spot so you need to walk around the entire yard to find him!

My card features lots of goodness from Waffle Flower. I started with a green cardstock background topped with a Gingham die cut to look like a white trellis for the garden.

I used a circle die cut to create a focal point and then topped it with the Seed Packet die. The die set includes the layers you see so you can customize the seed packet for the blooms or veggies of your choice. There is a Seed Packet Icons set that includes some of those like the violet I used on my card.

I added a sweet Happy Gnome and a punny sentiment to complete my design.

I hope you're having a great weekend and that you find some time to play along!

Sending Seeds of Joy

Today I'm playing along at Just Us Girls Challenge Blog where it's Anything Goes with a Stencil!  I'm also linking up to Time Out Challenge where this time the cue words are Mother Nature.   I think half the fun of planting a garden is the miracle of watching a seed turn into a plant and then watching the flowers turn into fruits and veggies! 

Fun fact about me is that I'm a gardener so I really loved seeing this set from Waffle Flower Crafts! FIrst you cut out the Postage Collage Seeds Die, and then ink it with the coordinating Setncil.

I topped mine with a white Postage Collage Blocks die. I ink this give the stenciled bits a cleaner look because they're framed. It forgives any little line up errors you might have made.

To make it a little fussier I set it over a striped "air mail" background made with the Postage Collage Coloring Stencil and then cut with an A2 Piercing Layers die for that dotted edge that matches some of the cut outs on the base.

I thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic day! Hugs!

Sending Bubbly Hugs

Today I'm playing at Time Out Challenge where it's all about WATER! I thought my underwater scene would be perfect!

I started by cutting my dies and laying them out on a piece of plastic the size of my card base. The Seafloor Silhouette underwater ruins are from Waffle Flower Crafts!

I had fun adding lots of embellishments.. rocks, starfish, shells and coral. How do you like the little eyes and water bubbles for the fish?

Arranging the design on clear plastic is helpful because I can slip different backgrounds under the design. I loved how this alcohol ink background looked!

I hope your're keeping cool, staying inside away from the wildfire smoke and that you can find some time to play!
