Happy Mail

Happy New Year 

Welcome to another year of creating. Today I'm sharing two cards using the same image.

This first image is the front of a card using KLM Digital Designs image Floral Envelope.

The card base was lightly brushed around the edges with  Walnut Stain Distress Ink, and the small envelopes were white heat embossed randomly on the front. The image and sentiment were printed on white card stock, colored with Copics, cut out, and popped up on thin 3M foam.

A glitter paper heart punch-out replaces the center of the flower.

The inside of the card uses another of the sentiments included with the image. 

A white panel was die-cut with Postage Edge dies from Spellbinders.

The Panel was Lightly brushed with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The small hearts were hand-drawn with R29 Copic and accented with red Stickles.

     Copics: Shading- E40, 41, 42, 0

                  Leaves- YG00, 03, 17

                   Flower- R22, 29, T4 under R29 for darker red

This photo image shows a one-layer card (sort of).

The front has 2 panels die cut with the Postage Edge die. I hand-cut along the envelope line and the flower to create an opening for a small note to slip inside. The envelope was popped up on 3M foam.

    Copics: Leaves- YG00, 05, 67

    Shading: BV0000, BV000

    Flower: Y13, 15, 17

A small gem is in the center of the flower. 

Below is the back of the postcard, left blank for a handwritten message. I used the Postmark stamp set from PTI to stamp the back, creating the appearance of a postcard.  

This is not intended to be mailed as a postcard but as a single-layered notecard in an envelope.

I hope you have a wonderful day and a creative year ahead.
