Rust & Yellow Postage Stamps

Good morning friends ~  I'm popping in with a card I made yesterday for the Color Hues color challenge.  I couldn't let the colors go by, plus my dear friend Marcia is hosting so it's  inspiring me all around!
 
 A "go-to" die for me is the postage stamp die from Waffle Flower.  I'm a bit late jumping on board with the Wildflower stencils, but I'm so glad I finally caved and bought them.
 
 I wasn't sure if the colors would work well with these stencils, but I kinda like the fall feel.  I would buy stamps like these!  ;0)
 
I left off a main sentiment, so this could be used for just about any occasion.  

I'll be linking this card up to the following challenges:
Color Hues ~ Rust & Yellow
 
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes 
The Sisterhood of Crafters ~ Anything Fall 


Thanks for stopping by!

I think these colors work beautifully with the flowers, and what pretty stenciled flowers they are! I would buy the stamps, too. Anytime is a good time for flowers!

Great way to stretch your crafty supplies by using the challenge colors with this spring stencil, Birgit! I think it looks absolutely amazing in the fall array of hues. Brilliant idea for a beautiful card! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Color Hues!

If your beautiful stamps were available at the post office, I would buy them. I have often wanted these layering stencils and perhaps I will go have another look. Thanks for playing at Color Hues and for tempting me to shop. LOL
