MFPaHC Lanterns sneak peek

It's sneak peek time of Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Co. Home Page April release stamp sets.  Bet you can guess the name of this stamp set......right you guessed it, Lanterns.  I decided to do faux postage this month for my theme but while I was looking for my faux postage templates in my stash I found sheets of these mosaic sticker sheets I purchased years ago when I was working at stamp store.  We had a visit from Natalie of Magenta stamps who was teaching a class using these sticker sheets.  First we did DTP (direct to paper) technique at that time with cat's eye ink pads.  Next just do what I call collage stamping to fill the sheet then peel sections off and make a card.  With one sheet you can make probably up to 10 cards well, at least 6 cards.  Another old embellishment are the tassels!  phew! haven't used them in more years than I want to admit.
enter in the following challenges:
1.  Addicted to stamps and more! - photo inspiration - I used the colors
2.  CCEE Stampers challenge #CCEE1414 - use 3 stamps
3.  Fashionable Stamping Challenge - favorite technique DTP
4.  Craft Hoarders Anonymous challenge - pick a stamp any stamp
