Postage Due Retirement Card

 

The Stampin' Up! Postage Due stamp set and the coordinating Postage Punch set make such a  Pretty Retirement card. Think travel and leisure.

Robin's Stamping Tips

• For multiple colors on the background stamp, ink stamp with Summer Starfruit ink
• Then remove ink from flower, 3 and bike using a blender pen or damp Q-tip
• Color bike and 3 with More Mustard Marker 
• Color flower with Rich Razzleberry Marker
• Huff on stamp to moisten
• Stamp

 

Inspiration for today's card came from a bouquet of Wild Flowers

Autumn's Exuberance

Autumn is not the shy kid in town.The  bold bursts of color and memory evoking smells of harvest usher in a new season.   Cool refreshing nights bring a new burst of energy.

It's time to break open the wrapper of my Autumn Accents Bigz Die from the Holiday Mini and make an autumn Thank You Card.

Robin's Card Tips

• For a tree like background, I embossed my Early Espresso Core`dinations Card Stock with my Woodgrain embossing folder and my Big Shot.  
• Next, I sanded to expose the core of my paper and produce a rough tree like texture.
• My leaves were die-cut with my Autumn Accents Bigz Die and my Big Shot.
• To add variety to the mix I used Comfort Cafe Designer paper and a variety of coordinating card stock
• Don't you just the handsome bow?  It's Comfort Cafe Designer Fabric!

The leaves are just beginning to change here at my house

And early apples are just beginning to blush.  What's happening in your part of the world?
