Whimsy Stamps - Postal Minis and Floating Hearts

Hello there.  Several timely challenges and Valentine’s Day coming soon, resulted in this love card featuring the Postal Minis stamp set and Floating Hearts cover plate die purchased recently from Whimsy Stamps (WS).


The envelopes were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It paper, coloured/shaded with Copic Sketch markers (R27, C0/2), then fussy cut out.  Ran the cover plate through the die cutting machine with an A2 size red panel next to give it the background some details..  Ink blended Victorian Velvet distress ink over a It’s Cloudy stencil on Bristol paper, then die cut out with a Cloud Edger die.  Stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink then heat embossed with clear glitter embossing powder before assembling the card onto a white card base to finish.
