Halloween series #6 - Spooky mail

 Morning friends!  This morning I want to share this card with you. As with the last post, this background was made using a Gel press.  I cut a thin panel out of this background, I then embossed it using a Leaf vine die from Crafters Companion. I did this twice, so the panel was all embossed. I have this adorable stamp and coordinating die set from AlteNew called Snail mail. With my Distress Oxide inks, I stamped out the image in greens and oranges. Next die cut each cute envelope and stamped the heart image in black ink on the top flap, of the envelope image. I applied a generous amount of Glossy accents to each heart and left to dry overnight.  In the morning, using collall glue I mat and layered the panel to plain black card stock, then onto a white card base. Thank you for spending some of your day with me! Ellie x Products: Altenew snail mail stamp Glossy accents Distress oxide ink pads Versafine black ink

To add a little extra sparkle, I brushed over the die cut images with my Wink of stella pen. I adhered these elements to the circle, then the circle foam taped to the background for some extra dimension. To complete the card, t...
