Independence Day is just a few days away, so I thought I’d share a fun card I made for the occasion!
This card features the Postage Collage die set and the 4th of July Collage Stencils from Waffle Flower.
I started by die cutting my postage collage on thick, white cardstock.
Then I lined up the first stencil layer (there are three layers) with my postage collage, and I began shading it with red ink. I used Tutti Fruiti by Catherine Pooler.
Next I used the second stencil and shaded my images in blue using Catherine Pooler’s Suede Shoes ink.
For the last stencil layer, I decided to add some shine and dimension. I used Stickles Glitter Gel and spread it over the stencil with a palette knife. The glitter stars in the gel were perfect for the fireworks in the image!
Once the stickles gel was dry, I glued my postage collage onto some red cardstock, then I glued those two pieces onto an A2 sized blue panel, then onto the card base.
This card really packs a punch with imagery and color, and it was so quick and easy to make!
Waffle Flower has all kinds of stamp and stencil add-ons for the postage collage die and I can’t wait to collect them all!
Sadly I won’t be seeing any 4th of July fireworks this year, but that’s because I’ll be going on an Alaskan Cruise with my husband, which honestly isn’t a bad trade off! But I still wanted to make something festive.
Let me know what you think in the comments, and make sure to follow me on socials to see what else I’m creating!
Thanks for reading!
