When I have time, I really enjoy making an envelope that has matching colors and if possible I use postage stamps that match. I wish I had more of these stamps that have the glass vases. I am not a stamp collector. I purchase stamps from our local stamp club to use and they give me 60% off the price of the stamp. Sadly, many people no longer collect stamps and some of these collectors have storage units full. So, whatever city you live in find out if there is a stamp club and if they'd like to sell you some of what they have.

wow what a gorgeous and cheerful card Bunny............gr karin
ReplyDeleteBunny, first of all your card is amazing! I love all the different colors and textures and sparkles! The matching envelope is wonderful too. But you’ve out done yourself with those matching stamps. I didn’t know that there were stamp clubs around. I will have to look into that. I do try to use custom stamps at certain times of the year. They have nice ones for fall and certainly for Christmas, but it would be fun to try to match the stamps up with the envelopes a little more than I currently do. Thanks for the inspiration! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We appreciate your participation!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely colourful card with fab embossing.
