Postage Love

Mornin' y'all!  Moving slow today because I woke up with a headache, that's always fun, but it's gonna get better from here.  I am manifesting positive things for today.

What with being a chauffeur extraordinaire most of the day yesterday, I didn't get into my craft room until the early evening but I did make a card to share today:


I have two challenges today, starting with the Creative Colour Challenge:


And what gave me a vector on this card is the Addicted to CAS challenge:


I combined the pretty Posted for You Love stamp with Post Script, which might be my favorite background stamp ever.  At first I wanted to use ribbon on my card, but it turns out I have zero ribbon in any of the challenge colors, so instead I put a thin strip of Melon Mambo behind my postage stamp image and I think it works.

That's it for now, peeps.  Have a great day!

Supplies, all SU!

Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Gray Granite, Stampin' Blends in Petal Pink, Melon Mambo, Gray Granite

This card is so perfectly balanced in terms of design and colour Christy - gorgeous! I love the addition of the Melon Mambo strip too - it brings all of the layers together and focuses the eye on the stamp.

Beautifully done. I love the detail of the postage stamp image and the great postage-inspired background element. I think that the strip works well, in place of ribbon. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to CAS.
