Create Stunning Cards with Waffle Flower’s Postage Collage

My card today features Waffle Flower’s Postage Collage dies and stamps as well as some ink blending. I saw a version of this card on their website and Instagram account. I used the same concept, but changed a few things for my card.

My first step was to use the Waffle Flowers Postage Collage Block die to create my “inner” panel for the “stamps”.
I then used the “stamp” die on both lemon yellow and powder blue cardstock.
I had an idea for a second card so the left over yellow and blue pieces will be used on a future card.

I used my scissors to cut apart the yellow and blue panels to create the “stamps.
I removed the white pieces from the die.
For the background, I selected a pink, yellow and light blue inks.
I laid the white pieces out matching the yellow or blue “stamps” behind the white pieces. This helped me determine what colors I would use in my ink blending.
On the three of the white pieces, I ink blended using Bubblegum Pink, Lemon Drop and Powder Blue inks.
I only used the yellow on three of the pieces and the other three pieces I used all three colors.
On the other three pieces, I only used the pink and blue inks to create my background.

Once I had my ink blending completed, I selected the stamps for each of the “stamps”.
I used VersaClair Nocturne ink to stamp all of the images.
On some of the “stamps”, I used a couple different images to complete the scene.
After stamping the images, I glued the images to their respective backgrounds.
I added some highlights with a white gel pen.
After arranging the “stamps” how I wanted them, I added some thin foam tape to the back of each “stamp” and adhered them to my card base.
My sentiment was stamped with the same VersaClair Nocturne ink.
Because the VersaClair ink is a pigment ink, I was able to add clear embossing powder over the sentiment and heat set it.
The sentiment has a matching die which I used to cut the sentiment out.
