faux postage re-visited

I was rooting through my drawers looking for something (who knows what) and came across my templates for faux postage.....needless to say I forgot what I was looking for and decided to make some faux postage.  besides finding the templates there were a bunch of perforated sticky back faux postage sheets sooooooooo why not finally USE them!  why have I been saving them for so many years!  this is one of three sheets done so far....going to do one more then tear them apart and use them for a local card swap I belong to where we have 20 members which means making 20 cards.  Think I have plenty to make the cards plus a few extra to create cards to send to a few friends/family.
Besides finding all the things to make faux postage I pulled out my stipple brushes to do all the coloring and stamps I haven't used in years.  Those little people are from Zetti...remember that stamp company?   It's fun to re-visit an old idea!  so go look in your draws and see what you find to re-discover!  Might even add making faux postage to an upcoming card class I'm doing in October...what do you think?

Fun! Think I have some of those sheets somewhere. Probably bought them when you were demonstrating this technique at a stamp convention years ago. Now the trick is to find them.
