Happy Mail With Kara

Hello! It's Kara and I have been sending out a bit of happy mail to some of my friends. I needed to create a few more 'just because' cards to replenish my stash. I pulled out Happy Mail and as well as Friends For All Seasons: Fall for some seasonal accents.

Summer has been beautiful! While it is still warm here, I can definitely feel a shift happening as we move towards Autumn.

I know many people plan out their card designs before they begin. I am not one of them. I prefer to fly by the seat of my pants. I start by stamping, die cutting and coloring some images that I may want to use. As I start moving the pieces around I'll come up with an idea for placement.

After positioning all of the elements in the foreground scene I was really happy with how it looked. The bunny on the stump, the bunny in the pile of leaves and happy mail, but the upper portion looked empty.

I decided to add additional images in the background. In order to make them not appear to be floating in the air I cut out the circle window and popped it up on the card front. This created depth so when I tucked in the bear and butterfly they felt like they were in the background and not floating in space. I also left them uncolored to emphasize the fact that they are in the background and not the main focus of the design.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Don't forget to send out some Happy Mail!
