Snail Mail Hello

Hey y'all!  Bit late but I do have a card to share today.

It's snail mail ; )  I am sometimes slow to catch on...when this stamp set was released (pretty sure it was in a mini catalog), I resisted the urge to buy it for the entirety of the catalog run...only to decide at the eleventh hour that I should get it and the matching paper too.  Then I didn't use it.  Oops.  Better late than never?  Sorry the picture is a bit dark, we've been socked in with clouds and/or rain here for daaaaayyyyysss.  Yay late November.

Let's celebrate National Letter Writing Day with the Festive Friday crew:

From the list, I used script (cursive font on the sentiment), hello sentiment, postmark (iffy, unless you count the ones on the paper the snail is on), envelope, and ink, if you count that I stamped my images and used Blends to color in the snail. 

I also used more layers than I typically do to follow this week's sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday:

The patterns just didn't look right on the card unless I added a Bermuda Bay mat to every. single. piece.  Which was at least good for using up a few scraps of cardstock.

Okay, the hubs asked me yesterday if I can make Christmas/holiday cards for his work people, to the tune of 63 cards, so I should get to work on that.  And also the washer just beep-screamed that it's done, so time to switch out laundry.  Feel like I'm moving as slowly as that snail!  Cheers!
