Sending Smiles

 Hi friends! I’m popping in with another card I made with the Mail Jumble background from the Hero Arts catalog release. I just love all those different mail pieces!



I started by stamping the background in intense black ink and then cutting out the individual pieces. I wanted a vintage look to them- so sponged the edges of each first with Butter Bar and then with Cup O’ Joe. I also stamped the sentiment from the Hero Greetings Sending Smiles set, sponging with the same inks.


Next I pulled out some of the new Canary card stock and embossed the Mail Jumble Background with Lemon Yellow ink and clear embossing powder. I sponged around the edges of this panel to match the other elements, then layered them all together. Once assembled I felt it needed a little something more, so added some yellow baker's twine. I finished off with black mats and some crystal clear lacquer accents on the sweet little hearts.


Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous day!
