This was a super challenge this week. There were so many choices I could hardly make up my mind but finally decided on TLC02 Faux Postage. This technique was so very popular in 2004/5 that everybody and their dog had at least 3 cards in their gallery! LOL I tried to keep it as simple as I could because this technique was way before all those intricate dies and embossing folders! The stamp set is SU's Flower Garden and is a hostess set so I must have been trying to encourage all my friends to spend their money for my benefit! LOL!!! I sponged each stamp with Mellow Moss and regal rose and used a $1.50 stamp from Mike's for the greeting.

Gosh, Sue - this is beautiful! I spotted that technique in the list too, and I even have a template and mask that I made last year - but I don't have the scissors or a punch, and today I did NOT have the time to use a little 1/16" punch for all the perforating. Lovely images and colours.

WOW, this is so beautifully done! I have seen a lot done with this technique but this is over the top gorgeous! Your sponging is flawless and so is your color blending! Into my favorites it goes!
