Thank Your Mail Carrier

Aloha, everyone!

I've been wanting to make a card for our mail lady for-EVER. I don't know why it took me so long. But this will be entered into the MFT Color Challenge 74.

I kept it simple (well, for me anyway) using Copic markers to color in, create a little lawn for her to stand in, and added a bird with musical notes for that little somethin' somethin' extra :) Glossy Accents creates a shiny bubble finish over the envelope, her shoes, the hat trim and her buttons, and a touch over her eyes. The image layer is popped up on a piece of foam.

Stamp Set: My Favorite Things "Pure Innocence" Line -- You/ve Got Mail!

Stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink

Cardstock: GKD Black and Neenah Solar White 80#

Gina Marie Stitched Rectangle Die

Stampin' Up Gold Mirror Chevron washi tape

Glossy Accents

Mahalo for stopping by!!!

Rainbow Happy Mail

Aloha dear friends,

I hope each of you are well. Headache is officially gone :D  I spent all of yesterday sorting and entering information into my GKD stamp database/inventory. Whew, was I behind. I also threw away the torn bags and put sets into new zip bags I purchased online at a discount. They are big enough for the sets and a little room besides. Looks so much better. The whole day... That made me look forward to coloring today!

This is an attempt to lean towards the CAS style. Lawnscaping Challenge is to incorporate a rainbow element into your creation. Put my thinking cap on, and well, this popped out.

It's all colored with Copic Markers except for the stenciled sun which I just dotted some Memento inks around the edge of the center and the rays.

Stamp Sets: "You've Got Mail" and "Sweet Smiles" (just for the face on the sun) both by Lawn Fawn
Cardstock/Paper: GKD 120# white base, AC pink (bldgs); Lawn Fawn "Perfectly Plaid" paper pad
Inks: VersaFine Black for the sentiment and the sun's face; Memento Cantaloupe for the sun rays and around the sun; Copic Markers for the rest
Dies: MFT "Solid Skyline" border die; SU circle punch (sun face)
Stencil: Simon Says Stamp "Build a Scene" (sun)
Wink of Stella Clear and Adhesive Pop Dots

The last envelope on the right is deep purple but looks kind of black.

Thank you very much for stopping by!!!

With aloha, Rosy ♥
