Concord & 9th, meet Evelin T! You two have such fun playing together on this card. (They may already “know” each other but hey. It’s always nice to play with several brands at once, right!)

This card follows the same ideas as Art Impressions watercolor – but with a large mailbox and larger flowers. Yes you can do the same thing with different stamps!
Ink colors used – everything is very muted except that persimmon pop!
The interactive portion of this card is just the front of the mailbox, peeking into the inside of the mailbox to see the snail. And his tiny “hello”!

Wonderful tutorial,,,,I am a watercolourist, but also a major card maker, stamper, die cutter,,,this was a wonderful tutorial. Thanks for sharing
so fun Sandy – I have this mail set which I really need to use!
What a gorgeous and surprisingly card. I love that you colour with Distress Ink, On this moment I am colouring also with DI but not on such watercolour way you do.
Thank you so much for showing this gorgeous snail mail card.
Love the cute snail surprise in the mailbox- So fun and adorable!
Truly beautiful, Sandy! You Fill me with endless inspiration… always! Years ago, you inspired me to try AI Watercolor stamps. I love them so much! Today, you have inspired me to try the same techniques using other stamps! Huge, heartfelt thanks, Sandy!!
Question: I have been using Silver Brushes with Daniel Smith watercolors. Is it ok to use the exact same brush for DS, Distress ink, and Marvy markers and just clean them carefully? Or do you set aside certain brushes for certain paints and inks?
Oh how I love these! I love the images, and of course the colors you chose and how you painted them.
