The Happy Mail set from Wplus9 is another cute and fabulous stamp set I’ve had for a little while but the craziness of the holidays prevented me from getting inky and I’m so glad to have finally corrected that. I used some simple masking to create this scene; on Neenah Solar White I first stamped the bear and rabbit in Memento Tuxedo Black then masked off their paws before stamping the banner. While the rabbit was masked I also stamped the tree trunk and then it was just a case of colouring with Copics. Having coloured in the characters I wasn’t quite sure how to complete the background but in the end went with colouring around everything with my markers to create a simple background which let the cuties shine.
I mounted the panel on Lawn Fawn patterned papers and added a banner of one of them too which is accented with a couple of enamel dots and a twine bow.
The ‘happy’ banner makes up the first part of the sentiment and I completed it by stamping the ‘birthday to you!’ from Strictly Sentiments 1 in Black on White card and trimming to a ribbon end. Finally the panel is mounted on a White card base.
I love the summer holidays with my kids and I love crafting …. only wish there was a way to not let one interfere with the other LOL.

What a sweet and wonderful scene!
Sweet, sweet card. I love the pastel colors and the banner.
Your card put these darling critter to good use. As always, your coloringis perfect and so is the masking. I should practice that more. The details really make this card special.
Adorable!!!!
Wow another super card! The ground underneath your critter just really makes the scene great.
Well, this is just adorable. I love how they are looking at the little butterfly. ^_^
Love your design! Awesome way to use these new stamps!
Oh my goodness! Love, love, love this sweet, creative card! TFS
Absolutely adorable. I love your coloring. Love this set. I need to make more time for masking – I get impatient. It makes such a difference though. Off to see if you have any videos of your water coloring processes. I would love to see one where you use the Zig Clean Color Brushes. Still getting used to using these but I do really like them.
I have a couple of watercolour videos on my youtube channel but I’ve not shown one yet with the Zig Clean Color Brushes. Will put it on my to do list :D
What a gorgeous card!Love how you have made this :)
