Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
When my friend Nance came to play, she brought some of her recent purchases
and I shared some of mine. I've been seeing these postage stamp die, stamps and
stencils all over Blogland, some done by my favorite artists. I was delighted to be able
to give them a try!
And since it's Stencil week at Darnell's I.D.E.A.S., I'll join her too.
My friends are so inspiring!
I think Waffle Flower needs to start designing stamps for the USPS!
They are much prettier than the post office offers.
She also brought her Spellbinders Towering Blooms Die.
I die cut all the pieces from Neenah Solar White cardstock while she was here
and colored the next day.
To color, I used blending brushes and Simon Says ink.
Instead of using it as two flowers, I layered both. I wish I had placed it a bit
higher on the card base, but it's not moving now.

Trading off supplies with friends is always FUN and it definitely shows in both of these beautiful cards Bonnie!! The postage collage stencils and dies are always so much fun to play with and all your flowers in the blues & yellows came out beautifully! They're kinda addicting though, aren't they?! I love your bold purple blooms in the 2nd card too...so pretty against the dark background! Lovely, lovely cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Bonnie. Your Postage Collage card is one of the prettiest ones I have seen. Love the colors you used. I think your big purple bloom looks fine where it is. I like how you layered it.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that you had the opportunity to play with one of those postage collage sets, Bonnie! Now you know what all the fuss is about, right? OH, do I adore yellow and blue together! Such a sweet card!
ReplyDeleteLOve the drama of this Towering Bloom, Bonnie! So elegant.
I'm so happy to see into your playday with Nance!

Your wildflowers are so pretty, Bonnie, and I love what you did with the Towering Blooms set!!
ReplyDeleteBoth are fabulous. x
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have a play date and share supplies! Your stenciled postage stamps card is fantastic, Bonnie I love the pretty blues and yellows together. You should link this one up over at JUGs; it's stencil week! Beautiful makes all around!
ReplyDeleteThis postage stamp die is great and I love all the pretty flowers you stencilled within the different shapes, and that wonderful bright and beautiful die cut flower really stands out well on the black card, and some pretty white spatters to finish Bonnie. x
ReplyDeleteI love that postage stamp collage. The design is so good for many different cards.
ReplyDeleteYour second card is so dramatic - love that purple on the black.

Love the first card with that wonderful postage stamp die and lovely little images (in one of my favourite colour combinations!). The second one is so beautifully coloured and shaded - and so vibrant against the black.
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie, these are two beautiful cards - I would say Nance is an enabler, sharing the postage stamp die and stencils with you - your results are so gorgeous. Love the deep purple of the flower against the black - so dramatic
ReplyDeleteBlessings

So pretty both with your expert stenciling and the colors you chose Bonnie! Thank for sharing it with us at Just Us Girls!
ReplyDeleteThese are both really gorgeous cards, Bonnie! I'm sure you had fun, it's even better with a friend and new products
ReplyDeleteIt is fun to share new products with friends and Nance's stencil collage looks to be a lot of fun. It's beautiful as well and I'm glad you shared it with us at Just Us Girls. That large purple flower is simply gorgeous, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteYou did a fabulous job playing with my goodies, Bonnie! I love your cheerful postage stencil flowers. They're so happy! But my favorite is the purple Towering Bloom-watercolored so gorgeously and stand out so beautifully on that black splattered background. It also looks gorgeous on my stamp shelf where I can admire it everyday! Thank you! (you have mail coming btw). We will need to get together again soon as I've just accommodated the Christmas postage stencils too! ;D
ReplyDeleteBonnie... just beautiful! I just bought this stencil and absolutely love how you used it. As always, thanks so much for joining and sharing your creativity with us at Just Us Girls this week!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the stamp designing, Bon! These are so pretty! And your Towering Bloom (what a great name!) is sensational! I think the composition is balanced just fine with that single towering leaf. Amazing colors and schplatters! Thank you for playing with my I.D.E.A.S. this week!📌 Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stenciling on those gorgeous postage stamps! Love this fresh design paired with the perfect sentiment. Thanks for playing along with us again at JUGS!
ReplyDeleteI agree the USPS could use Waffle Flower! This is a beautiful card with yummy colors. Oh my, that Towering Blooms is awesome.
ReplyDeleteHow cool these are. LOVE the postage stamp card and WOW on the die cut one. You still do the best job on coloring a die cut. Great cards, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteI love those postage collage sets so much. I hope you enjoyed playing with them during your crafty date with Nance. I think your second card is stunning and placed perfectly on the card front!
