CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #553 colours

hello stampers!

Suzy is hosting this month and she's got the latest challenge ready at CAS Colours & Sketches. This time it's a colours challenge and she has put together such happy colours.


The background was stencilled lightly, then stamped with the tiniest 'special delivery' stamp in the same colour. The mailbox, envelopes and hearts were die cut and ink blended.The sentiment was stamped and die cut into a circle.

I'm also joining in with a new to me challenge Inspire.Create.Challenge where they have a clean & simple challenge this fortnight - what luck!

Thanks so much for stopping by - we'd love to see your card in our gallery.

   

  • dies: Hero Arts infinity circles, Gummiapan mailbox, envelopes, hearts
  • stamps: Gummiapan special delivery, MFT hand stamped
  • stencil: Darkroom Door brick wall
  • inks: evergreen bough, candied apple, picked raspberry, pumice stone distress oxide inks

    Now that really is a flutter of happy mail - literally, Rachel! Love the subtle background stencilling too - it grounds your postbox beautifully.
