It's a great theme given that postal cards have been trending for a couple of years. For my card, I used an older stamp from Stamping Bella.
That sweet little owl was stamped then colored with Copic markers. I ended up fussy cutting her so I could place her on the background stenciled with clouds. The card design was inspired by this recent You Tube video by Jill Foster for Penny Black.
I cut a panel to roughly 3.25" x 4.25", then stenciled it and added it to the white card base. I cut a 1/8th inch strip of red cardstock, then adhered it next to the stenciled panel. The sentiment was stamped and die cut, then both the owl and the sentiment were added with thin foam squares. Lastly, three tiny hearts die cut from the same red cardstock were adhered around the sentiment. Super quick and easy card!
For more inspiration, please head over to the Paper Players blog and check out what my talented teammates have created! The challenge remains open until Friday, January 24th at 3pm EST. Hope to see your card in the gallery!
Thanks for stopping by and take care!
