Postage Stamp Swap #4

I love Postage Stamp swaps.  Fortunately, one of my friends gave me an envelope of used stamps and I was set to go.
I had the idea for the first card - Rainbow Queen - after looking through some fabulous links that were posted on the Forum.
I painted the background and imagined several rows of coloured stamps but IRL the card was too small and the stamps too large!
I adjusted my sights and laid the stamps in shades, hopefully in a rainbow shape, across a piece of paper.  Once I was happy I then attached the stamps.  I am pleased with the result although it is not my vision!

I painted the background for the second card and then wanted to add some fussy cut leaves but couldn't find the design I was looking for.  I matted the stamp to some hieroglyphic silver card which I cut with decorative scissors - the thought being that folk were on a 'high'  - and adhered the whole to the card.  I am not really happy with the leaves on my background but it is the best I can do.


I envisioned the background for this stamp to show my favourite music score.  I formatted the size to fit the card and then added a quote, my favourite picture - it sits inside the back page of my Cliff Richard scrapbook for 1962 in full colour!!   I matte the stamp on gold paper, the only colour for the king!!!

When you have a pot full of stamps of heads, there's lots of choice and I chose some men for this card.  After I had laid out my chosen subjects then added them to the card I decided a sentiment was needed.  I looked through several magazines and then found the perfect one!!!  I tore the paper round the sentiment and attached it along the lower edge.

UPDATE:
I have received the following super cards-
