Color Hues #77

If I looked, I could probably find at least 4 more pink Poinsettia cards ready for 2024, but today I wanted to share the newest addition to my collection of Waffle Flower Postage Collage stencil sets: Roses!  Just in time for Color Hues #77: Pink and Silver challenge!


You'll have to trust that the Party Dress ink used for the roses is the same
ink I used for stamping. AND that the stems and leaves and diamonds are
stenciled using Delicata Silver ink!  I've backed this panel of stamps using
a silver glitter paper, too!  
Of course, I had to have the new LOVE stamps that coordinate!

Here are a few more renditions - honestly the orange might have been my first - 
I really love orange roses:


The next two cards might have been inspired by a little visitor outside my window:

Mr. Bluebird in the Winterberries!


You know me and my love of all that's debossed - this WF Tiny Crosses plate
looks just like xx kisses to me!


We seldom have a February without snow so this WF Dashed Snowflake 
works a treat for my background panels - one cut with WF Nesting Ovals!

I know, I know - it might be too early for Valentines, but I just couldn't resist!  You'll understand, I'm sure of it!  Thanks!

It's taken a lot of restraint on my part not to acquire this postage set! And you've certainly given me LOTS of reasons to buy. Love them all, but the pink and silver is especially beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!

LeAnne said...

These are just lovely! I especially love the orange one....love those hues! And I just saw a bluebird couple at my feeders yesterday too...and that makes me love the blue ones just as much!

Diane said...

Oh, these are beautiful, I love Roses and dang it girl, you just enabled me to go and pre-order it!!

Lisa Elton said...

When I saw those roses in the WF release, I immediately thought of you! You've done a wonderful job with them, Michele. Each card is as pretty as the next!

Still loving those postage stamp cards. I have a lil WF stash here at my desk that needs to be opened and used. Those stencil brushes will come in handy.
Merry Merry.

All things LOVEly, Michele! I adore all the pretty colors and layouts, these are definitely adorable cards -- my package just came with the basic Collage postage, but no Love stuff -- boo hoo!

Jeanne said...

So very pretty, Michele. Love the roses in their many colors. Your sense of style with cards shines bright!

Bonnie said...

More gorgeous postage stamps, Michele! They make beautiful Valentines in all the colors!

Michele, I vowed not to buy any new products in the next few months, but every single time you use these sets I am so enamored by them. All of these cards are absolutely gorgeous and I am thrilled you made a pink and silver one too. Thanks for joining us at Color Hues during this busy season. Merry Merry to you and Tom!

Wonderful to see more examples using the postage die and stencils. Such lovely colours too xx

Bobby said...

You have made great use of the collage die with all these beauties, Michele. The roses work wonderfully for Valentine cards no matter what color they are.

All these cards are so pretty with the different color combinations. I really like the orange roses and if fact received some real orange roses on my birthday yesterday,how fun.
Thanks for sharing all your beautiful cards. Merry Christmas!

I just knew these postal beauties would show up sooner than later! I love them and I'm partial to the orange roses, too. All so pretty!

Cindy Beach said...

I came by yesterday to comment on these beautiful roses in splendid display mode, and immediately left to order the supplies to make them.
What more can I say? Awesome! Merry Christmas, friend!

It's not too early for Valentines. I'll be starting mine, too. These are so very pretty, Michele! Of course, you had to have the roses. I love how the pinks on your first card are such different shades from the same ink pad. I think the orange might be my favorite, too. I do love all the citrus colors. These are soft shades of orange and green and so lovely. Sweet blues with some different ways to use the postage, and sweetest of all is the Bluebird outside your window. We don't have Bluebirds here, but I'm looking right now at a Stellar's Jay on the feeder outside my stamp room window. Merry Christmas, Michele!

Oh these "postage cards" are my favorites! So glad I received one!

Karren said...

These stencils are fabulous and you have used them to great effect on your gorgeous cards! Everytime I see postage collage cards, I vow to get my stuff out and use it, but alas, it very rarely happens. Maybe this coming week...

These are all just so wonderful. I finally broke down and ordered these postage supplies. You have been torturing me long enough! Each and every one is so very special.
