Funny how this Postage Stamp Punch card started out as something completely different! So sometimes even when you know exactly what you are making, you end up with a surprise!

I had the idea from a magazine to use my reinkers and Aqua Painter to make some paint-like stripes on a piece of Whisper White card stock. Well, the first try didn't thrill me so I covered another piece of card stock with alternating stripes of Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Tempting Turquoise. Hmmm….didn't really know what to do with that either….but somehow I got the idea to punch out some shapes.  The Postage Stamp Punch was chosen and after some fiddling around, I came up with this!

That yellow ribbon is the brand new Daffodil Delight 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon #126872 with a couple Tiny Tags stamped and then punched with the Jewelry Tag Punch. I think they kind of make the card! And I like the summery look to the card!

This was one of those projects where I had to tell myself "Walk away from the card!"  Sometimes you have to know when to stop!  I can still look at it today and wonder if I should have put something in the centers of all the squares or partial squares in the empty spaces…or something! But sometimes you have to just stop!
