Welcome
Who doesn't like getting some Happy Mail?
Today's card features the newly released Love Letters from A Colorful Life Designs and is a good one for those of us that love to send out happy mail.
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and using some love tack tape, I masked around the center envelope of the Love Letters stencil, then inked it up with some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink.
- I moved the masks around each time and inked all the envelopes with these colours: Shaded Lilac, Broken China, Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and some Carved Pumpkin DOX ink. Moving the masks around to ink around each envelope wasn't that difficult.
- When I was happy with the inking, I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the big Hello in the corner.
- I glued the panel onto a piece of blue cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
- Finally, I added 3 black gems around the sentiment.
Here is the stencil I used:

I love this card! And I can see where it can be easily masked off with the straight lines. Starting in the middle was a great tip. You have made it so bright and cheerful with those beautiful colors.
Not sure if you saw, but this card was one of our top 3 favorites chosen at Send A Smile 4 Kids from January! Congrats! If you want to join us as a guest dt member sometime, just see the blogpost for instructions to let Sybrina know. Loved your card!
