It is time for the Inspired by Stamping June Release! Every 1st-5th of the month IBS shares "teasers" of the new release. Then, the 6th-9th of each month the design team will share project "peeks" of the release. The FULL release is shared on the 10th!
I get to share my project using the Summer Postcard Add On (set of 15).
I love vintage postcards. Just adore them. If I see any "real" vintage postcards at flea markets or yard sales, I snap them up! I also collect postage-themed stamp sets. Imagine my happiness at getting more postcard stamps!
I created a large tag, suitable for attaching to a gift bag or package. I tucked the little postage images into the flowers, as well as added them to other areas of the tag.
I used some postage edge dies and scissors to trim out the images. I also wanted to go big with the theme, so I used images from the Background Basics III, Vintage Postcards, and Creative Tags sets.
I colored this image with Copic markers and trimmed it out with a postage-die template. I love this tag. It is summer, vintage, and postage all at once!
Go and see what the other DT members are sharing today!

ReplyDeleteOh Gloria, of COURSE you woujld have a fabulous work of art. I LOVE all the layers and colors and vintage, postage-y goodness. You've given me all kinds of inspiration for using this stamp set. I don't make a lot of tags because of their size, but I can see that one can do a LOT with just a little "real estate." Thanks for the inspiration! (I, too, collect vintage postcards, especially the ones with writing on them - I just love them.)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun vintage goodness!
ReplyDeleteSigh! That is the *prettiest* tag, Gloria!
ReplyDeleteAh ya ya...another beauty! Gorgeous tag, Gloria!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful tag, it is so tagalicious...a new word, hee, hee, which Shani could see it for her word book.
ReplyDeleteLove everything about this tag, Gloria...but the colors are just stellar. And, I love the little banner you added at the bottom. Genius!
