Double D - BOOKS/ BOOKMARK or POSTAL/POSTAGE

Dear Ones~
This time the challenge over at Double D is BOOKS/BOOKMARK or POSTAL/POSTAGE. Lots of possibilities with this one. Here's the Mood Board for our inspiration.
 
 
 This is my sample:
I used a fabulous embossing folder by Spellbinders called Postage Mosaic. It's gorgeous, with so many possibilities. I cut out the individual stamps. Kraft card stock was used, with white ink over the image to make it pop. I added some white gel pen to pop everything even more, and then finished off with Rangers Enamel Accents in white. I just LOVE kraft with white, don't you?? I took a vintage book page and tore it up, layering it on the background for a shabby chic look.



 
 The Ingredients:
 PTI Rustic Card Stock
Recollections  Kraft Card Stock
Vintage Book Page
 Spellbinders Postage Mosaic Embossing Folder
Hero Arts Postage Stamp Nesting Dies
Waffle Flower Postage Collage Stamp Set
SSS Everyday Sentiments for Greeting
Walnut Stain Distress Ink
 
 
 
 
 If you head on over to the  Double D Challenge Blog and play along, you could win this beautiful set of embossing folders by Darice!!!!  Also, don't forget to check out all the beautiful cards the other designers have created.
 
 
 
 So, until next time dear readers, ASPIRE to be INSPIRED. 
Here's celebrating your CREATIVE MUSE!!

  3. Very eye catching design Judy. The white on kraft really makes the details on the embossing pop. I love the layered collage of stamps and creative background. There's so much dimension on this creation. I need to check out that EF too. We are all such enablers!

  6. I have this embossing folder, but I love what you have done to it. I may have steal this idea. That vintage look is just right and I love that you went a step further and took a page out of an old book and used it as the background. I am pinning.

  9. Geez, how do I not have this embossing folder? I LOVE it, and your card is absolutely brilliant with the combination of postage elements and the book page. Oh, and I have that old SB Floral Flourishes set and still use it now and then. It makes a perfect accent. Every element is thoughtfully placed and perfectly balanced. Beautiful, Judy!
