What an adorable gallery you have, so many scrumptious, sweet cards, Linda. Your faux postage card tugged at my heart strings! Such a fun technique!!!
Though I loved the colors you used, I wanted to do one in lighter colors with some of the retiring colors and stamps, I did stamp my own BG, I flipped it the opposite direction and made it into a birthday card. Hope you like it ! Here is my take on Linda's card shown here: My First Faux Postage by_zgirlsgranny by zgirlsgranny at Splitcoaststampers
Hope you Punchkateers like all this punching!!!

Oh so sweet with your postage stamps. I love the dp and and the angled image. Very sweet and so wonderfully cased from Linda's beautiful card. Hope things are beginning to settle down for you. I will remember what I promised to do tomorrow. Peace.

Sue, what a beautiful card you've made in honor of Linda as QFTD!! LOVE the Embrace Life stamp set for one thing and you've used it perfectly for the b/g images too. LOVE the faux postage stamps and using Apricot Appeal and Cameo Coral sure took on a life of its own with this card. You did an excellent job!! TFS!

What a lovely faux postage card you've made... the card you cased is the first card I uploaded onto SCS! Embrace Life is one of my all-time favorite sets and you have used it so well here... I love your colors and that stamped background is amazing!! Thanks so much!
