cardztv mailbox smiles challenge1

happy friday!! were back from spring break and mary has revamped a little bit from  the cardztv  your used to. this is an awesome thing as its now anything goes. were divided into 2 different design teams. each still running for 2 weeks and you still get that chance at winning a set of awesome cardztv stamps! mary is so good to us all! we love her dearly. when your done here be sure to check out my dt sisters beautiful as always projects. 

so.. here's what i came up with 

i did this on a blank 5X7 canvas. 

first i inked up the background using tim holtz distress inks. then i took a stencil of the heart wreath and applied modeling paste. once that dried i colored it in with chameleon alcohol markers. i added some flowers and a little bit of flower soft.

i really love the dimension. 

for the corners i used my cuttlebug and die then inked that up. i wanted a vintage look on this.

i finished off with 2 sayings from the stamp sets "favorite phrases" and "mini messages" which can be purchased ~> here <~

thanks so much for stopping by!  your sweet comments always make me smile, thank you for that too! be sure to play along with us we love when you do! 

happy crafting, shelly
