For my final card to introduce the Classic Friendship stamp set* by Cathy Zielske and Simon Says Stamp in their Always There release, I pulled out my beloved Waffle Flower Postage Collage dies.
I first used the original A2 Waffle Flower Postage Collage die to cut one of the squares for behind the sentiment from Spellbinders Saffron cardstock. Next I used the Waffle Flower Envelope die to cut the diagonal lines that make the impression of envelopes on an A2 piece of Neenah cover stock. Then I used the Postage Collage Envelope stencils to ink blend on three Distress inks: Spiced Marmalade, Abandoned Coral, and Picked Raspberry. I did a very light pass for the bottom of the envelopes and a much heavier pass for the top part.
I stamped Miss You with Versa Clair black ink and cut it to perfectly fit the postage square.
I used the Postage Collage Blocks die to cut out all the envelopes. In all honesty, this ended up separating ALL the envelope tops from the bottoms, and I used washi tape on the back to join them up again to look like closed envelopes.
I splattered a piece of white cardstock with black India ink and matted it onto an A2 panel of black cardstock.
After arranging and adhering all the envelopes onto the splattered panel using foam adhesive, I added 3 butterflies cut from pearl paper from the Artful Palette die set by Simon Says Stamp.
