Sending a Smile

 Today's vintage postal themed card features the Succulents stamp set from Creative Worship Stamps (formerly Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps) along with several of their background sets. The background was created by ink smooshing distress ink onto a piece of torn water color paper and then inking the edges before stamping the various designs. The succulents were stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens. I also inked around their edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Mini Marks 1 & a GIVEAWAY

 Today's card features NEW Mini Marks 1  stamp set and Leaf Fronds stencil from Creative Worship Stamps (formerly Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps). To create my background I ink smooshed broken china and scattered straw distress oxides onto watercolor paper. Next, I stenciled the leaf fronds in peeled paint. After cleaning my stencil, I realigned it and stamped the typewriter text background stamp through it in black ink. To finish it off, I lightly stamped some mini marks, added white paint splatters and inked around the edges.
