I knew immediately which stamp I wanted for my inspiration. The 1982, 20 cent Love stamp, has always been my absolute favorite postage stamp issued! I don't have a postage stamp die, but I thought the Tag Sale #10 die, with the scalloped frame center, would work pretty well. The tag was cut from a smooshed watercolor BG I created with distress inks spiced marmalade, mustard seed and picked raspberry. The vines were stamped in new leaf and the flowers in spring rain, hibiscus burst and winter wisteria. The sentiment was done with royal velvet and attached to the scalloped frame that was popped up with foam tape. I added the ribbon/twine and placed it on the card base, embossed with the PTI picnic plaid imp. plate. Here's my inspiration. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...acd4fea9f7.jpg

this has such beautiful colors and I was thrilled to see the embossing was a folder ( because, I think I will look for it, I absolutely would not have the patience to score that many lines)
