For my card, I pulled out this really cute Penny Black image, stamped it on white cardstock, and colored it with Copics. I added soft red sponging around the edges to frame the image, then popped the panel up on a white card base for a clean, bright finish.

For my background, I chose a piece from the stack I am working through, and its alcohol ink look brought great movement and color to the design. I added a couple of coordinating scrap papers and gave each layer a crisp white mat for clean definition that helps everything stand out.
Since the Featured Stamper card included a peacock, I reached for this sweet peacock die cut, assembled the layers, and let it take center stage. The sentiment is lifted on dimensionals, and several blue hearts finish the card with a soft pop of color.

For my card, I was inspired by the stainless steel silverware in the challenge. I have been working through a stack of paper pads this year, and this silverware print was already in my pile of papers to use up. It was the perfect match for this theme. I trimmed the panels, mounted the top layers on black for crisp definition, and centered a Thinking of You sentiment across the three sections.
To finish the design, I layered everything over a black and white gingham background and added dimensionals behind the sentiment for a bit of lift.

For this challenge, I created a card that features three containers: two small envelopes and a cheerful mailbox. The die cut set from Spellbinders is ideal for a card that will be mailed. I cut the pieces from several papers, layered them, and added dimensionals to a few elements for depth.
I tucked the two envelopes inside the mailbox to complete the little scene. The card is finished with a birthday sentiment that is raised on dimensionals for a simple and pleasing touch.

For my card, I pulled out an old dictionary a friend passed along when he was downsizing. The aged pages make a wonderful background and felt perfect for a note card. I layered a torn section on cream cardstock, then added a black mat for contrast.
Next, I stamped the Paint Brush Lineup image in black on cream cardstock and layered it on black to match the background panel. I stamped the Just a Note sentiment on cream, added it to the dictionary layer, and popped the paintbrush image up on dimensionals to finish the design with a bit of lift.

For my card, I pulled out this adorable House Mouse image and colored it with Copics. I paired it with a designer paper pad from my stash that I am working to use up this year, trimming the layers to build the background. While sorting through my supplies, I found a piece of handmade paper that worked perfectly to add texture and to echo the yellow in the cheese the little mouse is holding.
To finish the design, I added a few grey candy dots to tie in with the mouse and the grey layers, giving the card a clean and coordinated look.

For my card, I reached for an adorable owl stamp from Pink and Main. I stamped the image on white cardstock, colored it with Copics, and popped it up on dimensionals to give it a little lift. The finished panel is set on a green card base, which adds a fresh, cheerful contrast to the soft coloring.
