umbrella

This card was made for Craft Roulette #301 whose parameters were: an appreciation card, apple farm colors, silhouette element and old [craft] product. I used Waffle Flower Beach Days dies, stencils and stamps along with a Hero Arts sentiment stamp to create this card.

Watch the process video below to learn how this card was made.

Cardbase: I used a purchased American size A2 (4 1/4×5 1/2-inches) kraft cardbase and matching envelope.

Postage Stamps: Using the stamps and stencils from the Waffle Flower Beach Days collection along with their Postage Collage die and stamp set, I created the beached themed postage collage seen in the video above. (See below Materials Used for all the ink colors used.)

Sentiments: “Thank you for your kindness” is from the Hero Arts Kindness stamp set.

Envelope: The panel card fits into an A2 (4 1/4×5 1/2-inches) size envelope with the back flap stamped with an anchor seal “I hope you have the best day” in black.
