Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you this mixed media vintage postal hello card.

I made this card to participate at the Creative Worship Stamps May Release Instagram Hop. We’re showcasing products from this month’s amazing release that includes flowers, butterflies, sentiments, backgrounds, and more.

Today, on my card, I used these stamp sets, die sets, and stencil from Creative Worship Stamps:

• Bold Bloom Stencil
• Postage Stamp Cover Plate Die Set
• Hello & Smile Word Die Set
• Sketched Roses Stamp Set
• Vintage Sheet Music Tile Stamp Set
• Vintage Postage Stamp Set
• Going Postal Stamp Set

All images for the background were stamped with VersaFine Clair ink pads on heavyweight white cardstock. I used smooshing technique to add distress vintage look to the background panel with some Vintage Photo Distress ink and water. After drying it with a craft heater gun, I cut it with the Postage Stamp Cover Plate Die. I wrapped around some of the burlap twine on the postal background panel and added it to the card base with permanent adhesive glue.

I stamp the flower and leaves images on a piece of watercolor paper and then watercoloring with Distress inks. I fussy cut them with scissors. I added to the card with permanent adhesive glue and thin foam tape for extra dimension to some petals and leaves.

And for the sentiment word, I cut out the word Hello out of a piece of heavyweight cardstock and then I added some metallic glossy look with VersaMark Dazzle Frost and clear embossing powder. I added to the card with foam tape.

I added some splatters on the background with Finetec Gold and Silver Pearless Watercolors using a fan paint brush and added some of the Altenew White Craft Spray using small round brush.

I dried the whole panel again with the craft heat gun just to make sure the splatter paints dry well.
