Isn't this a GREAT sketch? This is
Laura's Sketch #57 from 2 Sketches 4 You and I REALLY wanted to use it on this card!
This is the inspiration for the
City Crafter Challenge - week 15 - and they said to pick any colors from the photo and your theme had do represent something to do with mail. I combined the two challenges to make this card.
Nothing screams Garden Mail like these stamps! I LOVED them so much when they first came out that I bought three sheets of them just because! They were my inspiration for this card.
This violet is from PTI's Year of Flowers - Violet -stamp set. I stamped it in black versaink (so the ink wouldn't bleed when I colored it) and I colored the violet with Copic markers. I'm not a big fan of coloring but I LOVE these markers. I just played around and also used the zero pen to make it look as real as possible. Then I used pop dots to make it stand out.
Does the strip of paper with Love and the cart of flowers look familiar? It's right off of the stamp sheet it made a lovely border for this card. If you look closely, it has the stamp perforations on the bottom edge! I embossed the white with my PTI linen impression plate. I embossed the SU Rich Razzleberry with a Cuttlebug Damask folder.
This is the inside of the card and two more violets I colored as well. Hope you like it!

Beautiful, Sue! Love the way you used that strip from the top of the stamp sheet. I am a total freak for "pretty stamps", but I've never seen those. Guess I need to make a trip to the post office (or the USPS website...). Great coloring, too. I'm not so enamored with coloring yet either, but when I do some with Copics I always enjoy it. Those are definitely great markers! Great combo of those challenges!
Great job on combing those two challenges.
This is awesome! i love the colors :)
Thanks for playing at 2S4Y!
