OWH Sunday Sketch - Postal Background

I guess I'm on a postal themed kick.  I can't seem to get enough of the Postmarks set (which I'd only ever used once or twice since I bought it).  I guess its time has come :)

So when I saw this week's sketch all I could think was stamps ... postage stamps all lined up along the bottom. I didn't know what else to do with it, but got collage inspired and ended up lining up a bunch of the images from  Postmarks on a single block and stamping tone on tone in crumb cake ink:

I lined the stamps up horizontally on my block but decided to stamp on an angle just for kicks.  And although you can't see it in the pix, I did accidentally put some of the stamps on upside down.  It actually turned out kinda cool so I didn't bother re-stamping (so never let some one tell you that its a mistake to stamp upside down :)

 I used the new In Colors for the stamps  (Raspberry Ripple, Gumball Green, Midnight Muse and Summer Starfruit.  The sentiment I stamped in Vintage Cream on Chocolate Chip card stock.

Here's the whole card - another one for the "soldier" box

Thanks for stopping!
