Mail a Card Monday #2

Well, I'm on a roll! Two weeks in a row. Woo hoo! Can you tell I'm not very good at following through on things sometimes? I really do hope to keep up with this one though. Such a good use of my crafting stash. :o) 

I managed to get a couple of cards out in the mail today. This is one of the ones I sent out. We made it last month at my Stamp-a-Stack. I purposely left the design without any wordage so it could be used for whatever occasion it might be needed. It happened to be needed for an "I think you're awesome" card. 

To color the flower I simply ran an Aqua Painter over the stamped image, coloring in the petals. Since the Real Red ink is a water based ink, the water in the Aqua Painter caused the ink to bleed and gave me a soft pink color. Once the flowers were dry, I punched them out and then curled the petals lightly with a Bone Folder. It gives the flowers much more life and movement.  Thankfully the depth of the Faceted Gem will help keep the flower from getting squished in the mail. I did pay a little extra to get this one hand-canceled though since that gem is kind of bulky. Didn't want it ripping through the envelope.

I don't often remember to design the inside of the cards, but this was an easy one. LOVE this set. Super versatile.

I will be back tomorrow with a SUPER AWESOME offer I have put together. Can't wait to tell you about it. :o)

Till next time...
God's love and blessings!
