You've Got Mail

Photo Details

Poster: TheresaCC

This is my sample card for the color challenge I'm hostessing at StampTV this week. The mailbox was stamped and colored with Copics and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder before sponging. You can see step by step photos on my blog here.

Thanks for looking!

Your coloring is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for the step-by-step coloring instructions on your blog. I love the copic markers but I have a long way to go with the shading techniques. This is a gorgeous card!
