Poinsettia Postage Christmas


Good morning!!  It's November and there is a wonderful new stencil release over at A Colorful Life Designs today.  This month is focused on Christmas designs, from candy canes to reindeer to ornaments to trees.  I fell in love with the new Christmas Postmark stencil and I wanted to make fun little postage collage card.

I started by placing the Marvelous Masks Postage Stamp 5" stencil down on a white card and I lightly brushed some pale blue ink over the stencil.  With the Postage Stamp stencil still taped in place, I put the new Layered Poinsettia stencil on top and stenciled the flower petals with a medium blue ink, the leaves with a gray ink, and the little flower center with a dark blue ink.  I removed the Layered Poinsettia stencil and placed the Christmas Postmark stencil at an angle across the top and sponged a dark blue ink over that.  I moved this stencil so that the edge of the postage lines were over the bottom left corner and I sponged some more dark blue ink there.

After I removed the Christmas Postmark stencil, I left the Postage Stamp stencil taped to the card.  I splattered some white paint over the entire card (and the stencil!!  LOL) and let it dry.  Then I removed the Postage Stamp stencil and glued some Winter Wonderland Blend Card Bling randomly all over the card.  I love how this card turned out!

If you want to shop at A Colorful Life Designs, be sure to use this code, HollyFan10, to save 10% off your entire order (excluding Master Creator Bundles).  This code is good on stencils, stamps, and Card Bling, so grab all the things on your wish list and save some money.

There are two Master Creator Bundles this month, one for Batchables stencils and one for Classic Christmas stencils.  These bundles are a terrific value at 20% off for all those stencils in each bundle.  If you're like me, you will want both of them.  :-)  Have fun shopping!
