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!

So sweet, Stef! :) Your card made me smile. Thanks for that. xx
The bird is great but it's the stencilled clouds that I really adore. Great card - the tiny hearts are just perfect. Have a great week. :-)
Very cute card, Stef!
Your little owl postman is ADORABLE! Colored perfectly! Love that cloud-filled background too!
As always, your coloring is spectacular, Stef! Your stenciled clouds are amazing. This owl is adorable. He reminds me of a Harry Potter movie where the owls deliver the mail. It is perfect for our challenge.
Oh my goodness - that owl is so cute Stef! A masterclass in colouring too and I love the cloud background.
Stef, this is amazing! My grand daughter loves owls, so she would swoon over this fabulous card. Your clouds are amazing and your coloring is always amazing. Love the turquoise card. Your card is perfect for our challenge!
Stef, the owl is so sweet and this is the second card that has made me think of Harry Potter! I love that you separated the image into two sides like a post card and those sweet little hearts are the perfect finishing touch. Thanks for rocking my challenge this week
