As a guest designer for the month of April at Creative Worship Stamps, I've had so much fun playing with the beautiful stamps, dies, and stencils found in their store. This card I'm sharing today is one of my faves, if I may say so. I love the crisp black and white of the botanical images against a shimmery aged postage background.
On the Postage Stamp Cover Plate, I first inked up the entire thing with a light colored Distress Ink. Then I sprayed it with Distress Mica Stain Spray in Unravelled, to give it a beautiful glimmer. This was matted with black cardstock before going onto the white card base. Images from Vintage Nature Elements and Going Postal stamped on white cardstock, die-cut or fussy-cut, were added here and there amidst the panel. I stamped a postmark from Going Postal on the bottom portion, and a script stamp from that same set along the right portions under the mushroom.

Ephesians 6:14 NIV
Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
God bless you!
