Botanical Postage

It's been such an honor to be a guest designer for the month of April with Creative Worship Stamps!  Thank you to Korin for having me, and to Esther for patiently answering all of my questions.  😊

For my last creation this month, I pulled together quite a few stamps and dies to create a flora-and-fauna postage-themed Scripture card.  A verse stamp from Fear Not fit perfectly in one of the largest rectangles, and I paired it with sprigs of greenery from Beautiful Branches, stamped in a few areas.  The postmark wavy edges and tiny American flag are from Going Postal, as is the "par avion" sentiment.  I had stamped that one on white cardstock and grunged it up with Distress Ink, then layered it onto a piece of deconstructed cardboard box.  One of the pretty birds from More Than Sparrows was stamped on white cardstock, colored with alcohol markers and trimmed, then glued her body onto the postage background.  I stamped her first on the actual postage, so the feet would show and I wouldn't have to fussy cut those.  A tiny butterfly from Vintage Nature Elements was stamped and I used the matching die, and placed foam tape beneath to give dimension.  It was the perfect size for that right top corner!

Thanks for joining me all month at CWS.  It's been fun to use their beautiful products!
