I'm here with another card combining stamp sets by Paper Smooches, Mama Elephant, and Simon Says Stamp. I used Paper Smooches' Itty Bitty, Mama Elephant's Happy Mail, and Simon Says Stamp's Happy Mail stamp sets. When I started this card I knew I wanted to use Mama Elephant's stamp set; at first I thought about doing a watercolor background, but in the mist of laying out my design and grabbing some stamp sets I wanted to use the design changed. I am also a bit intimidated by water coloring as I am not that good at it. Once I saw the Itty Bitty stamp set I knew I wanted to make a scene for the card. I stamped with Simon Says Intense Black Ink and Copic colored the images. I then fussy cut the images to lay out on my card so I could figure out where the areas I wanted to distress. I used post it note and scratch paper to cover the areas I did not want to get inking. For the grassy area I used Mowed Lawn/Twisted Citron, the Sky I used Salty Ocean/Tumbled Glass, and the pavement/driveway I used Pumice Stone/Hickory Smoke. When I finished distressing my areas I then stamped my sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp set on black card stock with embossing ink and heat set it with Rangers Fine Detail White embossing powder. I fussy cut the sentiment. I then glued my images onto the card and popped up the panda and mailbox. I used my Spectrum Noir glitter pen in clear to put some sparkly goodness on the mail. Hope you like my card. :)
