Today's Ways to Use It Challenge is to use something postal -- like postage cancellation stamps or faux postage. This was my first attempt at making faux postage stamps. Luckily I remembered I got a tiny postage stamp die when I bought my Cuttlebug many years ago, so I die-cut a bunch of blank stamps. I then masked the edges and found small Christmas stamps that would work as a postal image. I colored the images with pencils, added a few silver details, then sponged ink in the unfilled areas. When I removed the masking, they were pretty convincing faux stamps. It's fun and could get addictive. I hope you can find a way to join the fun with this week's Ways to Use It Challenge. My cards also follow this week's sketch, SC986.
