To accompany the Healthcare Heroes and Grocery Heroes stamp set is this Postal Heroes Stamp Set. I love that even if you don’t encounter the same postal worker on a regular basis, this stamp sets coordinating sentiments suit a variety of occasions. I used the Buffalo Plaid Builder stencil to add a postal envelope “United States Postal Service” edge to this card. Then I used the Delicate Polka Dots Washi Tape to add hints of packaging tape for a fun handmade feel.

I got the inspiration for this card and color palette from my boss’ blouse. It had this no outline look to the flowers and stark contrast in the petals and leaves. I added additional layers of Artist Markers to intensify some of the petals and give a bit more variation between the two flowers. I finished this card with black splatters, enamel dots, and a beautiful sentiment from Signature Words Die Set.

The instant I previewed this Goldfish Pond Stamp Set, I imagined a scene with a traditional Eastern watercolor look. I watercolored the goldfish to a koi fish color palette and even added gold elements where I could. To make the water background, I sloppily added areas of color onto vellum, then used drops of isopropyl alcohol to help the ink lift and move–similar to liquid alcohol marker refill inks on yupo type paper.
