I couldn’t think of a better time to ink up a new NBUS stamp set called Happy Mail (so appropriate) from SugarPea Designs. On a stitched slimline panel die cut from X-Press It cardstock, I stamped the single envelope with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, masked it, then stamped the penguin. Coloured them in with Copic markers. Masked them and the upper 2/3 of the panel. Blended light gray dye ink with a blender brush to create the sidewalk. Masked the sidewalk then applied green and turquoise dye inks for the grass/sky. Took some green Copic markers and added grass shading and details.
The Impact Alphabet letters from My Favorite Things were each die cut twice from white and once from gold metallic foil paper and stacked for dimension. For a shadow effect to make it stand out better, die cut each letter from black and offset. Created the custom sentiment with some stamp surgery and strategic masking using the different sentiments in the set. It was heat embossed with white embossing powder on black. Mounted the panel to a white 3.5”x8.5” card base to finish.
Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
