I am on a bit of a tear with sketches - 
I forgot how much I get done when I am given a challenge or sketch!

Today I popped by The Paper Players & loved their challenge
ans instantly knew what I wanted to work with -

I recently ordered Lawn Fawn Love Letters & the Happy Mail die,
these were the perfect sets for this challenge.

  4. Such a cute card, and I love that the little love note comes out...I love interactive cards!!
    As for your photo lighting...I like the bottom photo more, the one above has a bit of a yellow tinge to it...even though natural light is suppose to be the best for photography.

  5. I have that die set too! LOL And I haven't used it yet! I Adore your card - It's so cute with that sweet bird and wonderful job with those clouds! As for the lighting - I'm no expert or anything but direct sunlight makes it look yellowish - the indirect sunlight seems to give it the perfect amount of light - looks clear & crisp - Also - don't be afraid to use a photo editing program to help achieve the best pictures! I take anywhere from 6 - 15 photo's of one project - and then decide which ones I think are best.. then use some photo editing to dwindle it down to 1 or 2 pictures that I will use for posting - Blogging takes a lot of work as does videos - So I appreciate it when people post, because I know how much time can go into it - :)

  6. Your inked sky is a great backdrop for the mailbox. I love that the note opens out to be mail. We used to have a letterbo just like this when I was a girl. Thanks for joining us at The Paper Players this week.
