Bonjour,
Ce week-end, j’ai eu envie de faire une carte avec la matrice Postage Collage. Je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais j’ai tout de suite pensé aux images d’Anita Jeram pour remplir les cases. J’adore toutes ses adorables petites bêtes !
Hello,
This weekend, I wanted to make a card with the Postage Collage die. And I don’t know why, but I immediately thought about Anita Jeram’s images to fill in the boxes. I love all her adorable critters !
C’est une carte de Noël qui m’est venue à l’esprit en premier lieu, j’ai donc disposé les tampons que je voulais dans les différentes cases et j’ai tamponné en noir. Puis j’ai masqué toutes les images pour pouvoir faire l’arrière plan.
It was a Christmas card that came to mind first, so I arranged the stamps I wanted in the different boxes and I stamped in black. Then I masked all the images so I could make the background.
J’ai tout d’abord appliquer les nuances de rouges et de verts puis ensuite avec un pochoir j’ai fait les petits motifs en repassant dessus avec les mêmes encres. J’ai enlevé les masques et j’ai coloré les images avec des crayons de couleur.
I first applied the shades of red and green, then with a stencil I made the small patterns by going over them with the same inks. I took off the masks and I coloured the images with coloured pencils.
Et pour finir, j’ai collé ces images sur une double carte rouge.
And to finish, I flat adhered these images on a double red card.
Les tampons étant toujours dans la Misti, j’ai pensé que ça serait marrant de faire la même carte mais en changeant simplement les couleurs, le sentiment et les étoiles pour en faire une carte d’anniversaire.
Since the stamps were still in the Misti, I thought it would be fun to make the same card but just by changing the colours, the sentiment and the stars to make it a birthday card.
Ni une, ni deux, j’ai remplacé le sentiment, le pochoir pour le fond et le tampon des étoiles par un tampon de fanions. J’en ai profité pour utiliser les couleurs du dernier défi de Color Hues pour colorer les images et le fond.
Without further ado, I replaced the sentiment, the stencil for the background and the stars stamp with a pennant stamp. I took the opportunity to use the colours from the last Color Hues challenge to colour the images and the background.
J’ai fait le fond avec des encres Distress et les images sont colorées avec des crayons de couleur.
I made the background with Distress inks and the images are coloured with coloured pencils.
Pour finir, j’ai collé ces images sur une double carte blanche.
To finish, I flat adhered these images on a double white card.
Et voilà ! J’aime assez le résultat. C’est amusant de voir comment deux cartes peuvent être différentes seulement avec de minimes changements.
Et voilà ! I like the result. It’s funny how two cards can be different with just minimal changes.

Fournitures / Supplies :
Pour information, j’ai créé un pochoir dans un morceau de Mylar pour pouvoir masquer les jolies découpes qui font les encadrements des images.
For your information, I created a stencil in a piece of Mylar to be able to hide the pretty cutouts that make the frames of the images.

Every time I see another great rendition of the postage stamp dies I think to myself I need to get back to it. Both of these cards are just delightful! The Anita Jeram images are perfect, and I love the pink and aqua combination which would also make a great birthday card for my granddaughters! Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!
