Here's the card I made for my parent's mail carrier. My friend Jill is always looking for "postal" type stamps for me and found this one on Taylored Expressions. Thank you Jill!
I stamped the mailbox image on white cardstock that was die-cut using a stitched rectangle die. The image is stamped in black ink and colored with Copics. I added gold Pearl Pen to the trees to make the ornaments look dimensional. I also added a glitter line below the trees, on the mailbox and the very top of the post.
Seasons Greetings is stamped in Pure Poppy ink and on fun foam for dimension. I placed a piece of fun foam on the panel and adhered it to a white card base, layered with Holiday Plaid pattern paper. It was tough using a whole piece of this Holiday paper, lol, but I thought the colors I used on this matched this particular pattern perfectly!
The top of the card looked too empty so I added the clouds, placed on foam tape for dimension. Such a cute stamp!
