Merry Mailbox

Hello! Today I have a winter card, made using images from Autumn Beauty and A Very Merry Christmas. I'd been wanting to make a snowy mailbox scene since I saw this card my mom made.

I started by stamping the mailbox, from Autumn Beauty, with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then used my N5 Copic marker.

Added N3.

Added N1.

Used E59 on the post.

Added E55.

Filled in with E53.

Used R24 on the flowers and flag, G24 and G28 on the foliage. After coloring, I used my Versa Mark pen to cover the image and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Used torn post-it notes to mask off the bottom and then sponged with Bashful Blue ink.

Sponged with Ballet Blue.

Removed the mask and sponged Not Quite Navy around the edges.

Stamped the holly flourish from A Very Merry Christmas around the edges and colored with R27 and G28.

I added some highlights to the holly with an opaque white gel pen and added some shredded styrofoam for snow on and around the mailbox. (I seriously need some flowers soft) Layered with Pure Luxury Black Onyx and SU Bashful Blue. The cardbase is Pure Luxury White Base Weight and the sentiment is from A Very Merry Christmas.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great day!
