Hello and TFL!! i really enjoyed making a FEW versions of 'postage' stamp cards. this turned out my favorite. I will send it to my friend and inside it says 'Friendship is timeless beauty'. to go with the rub on words on card front.
several stamps from Prima Imagenne were used here, old set, but new to me. it was fun experimenting.
I love vintage, but i did add SPARKLE with the Metallic Champagne Mist sparkle ink on their hats/gloves/one of their shoes. Also added a little bit of color from J Nutting skin tones watercolor pencils on their skin and the blonde one's bangs.
I masked the two girls and then stamped the Alphabet Block image, trying to make it look like they are sitting on it. ?? hope it looks that way to you, too! hahah
hope you can see the sparkly bits, they really glitter IRL.
ENJOY, stay well!! THANKS to Carla aka Covington Crafter for all her energy and time devoted to fun challenges : )

The little girls sitting on the alphabet block was the first thing I noticed, Teresa. Lovely combination of images and the colors add to the vintage feel of those little girls. Thanks for playing in my challenge and treating us to your lovely faux postage.

Wonderful soft background. Those sweet little girls look like Kate Greenaway illustrations, and do indeed look as if they are sitting on the alphabet block. I like the little airplane, very suitable.
