Autumn Mailbox

I recently won a gift card to the Dare 2B Artzy store and purchased this super fun Mailbox Gift Card Holder die with it.  My friend and I spent a fun afternoon creating autumn mailboxes stuffed full of colorful leaves. 

The leaves were cut from mixed media paper and inked with various colors of distress ink before adding some brown splatters. The kraft background was embossed with the Woven embossing folder and lightly inked with vintage photo distress ink.

That really is a fantastic autumn card, I love the colours you used and how you created this wonderful 3D motif by filling the post box with letters and leaves. I like how the motif takes up the majority of the card and still doesn't make it feel cramped, just full of beautiful autumn vibes. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.

Hugs, Veronika
