Happy Old Mail Boxes Tutorial

Hello there! Here is a card I made for the Gina K release party last week, using my new set, Country Roads.

I started by stamping the mailboxes with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I stamped the mailboxes on a sticky note and cut it out to make a mask, and placed it over the mailboxes on my card stock. Then I stamped the small tree using Memento Gray Flannel ink.

I removed the mask and colored with Copic markers, beginning with C1 and C5 on the first mailbox.

Then N3 and N5 on the second.

I used B93 and B95 on the third mailbox.

And W1 and W3 on the last mailbox.

For the posts, I filled in with W3 and E33, then used W5 to shade.

For the tree, I filled in with YG21.

Added dots with YG95.

Added dots with YG97.

Added dots with G24.

For the trunk, I filled in with E25 and used E29 to shade.

I used Spellbinders Circle Nestabilities to cut out the image, then sponged Memento Summer Sky ink while still in the die template.

Sponged MEmento Desert Sand at the bottom.

I colored in the grass with YG93 and used W3 & W5 to add shadows under the tree and mailboxes.

I made the card base 4 ¼ by 5 ½ inches, using Pure Luxury Sandy Beach card stock. I stamped the silhouette grasses using Memento Bamboo Leaves, then spritzed Tattered Angels Leapfrog Glimmer Mist. 

I cut a strip of Fresh Asparagus card stock and used my Scor-Buddy to add decorative score lines.

I adhered the sentiment and image layer using Pop Dots and rounded the corners on the card base.

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