MAIL CALL 2020 – Yes, it’s back! (plus no-line watercoloring)
Happy Friday, all! I’m back after a much needed holiday break. I hope your holiday time was wonderful!
I’m starting off this new year by bringing back Mail Call! The last Mail Call was in February 2017, so I’m excited to bring it back!

The Mail Call theme for January 2020 is Valentine’s/Love, so I created a watercolor card using the Crafted With Love stamp set from Mama Elephant. I stamped one of the bunny images in Antique Linen Distress Ink and painted using the no-line watercoloring technique.
For the background on the card, I did some ink smooshing using six colors of Distress Ink: Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Blueprint Sketch, and Wilted Violet.
The card was finished off with a greeting from the Occasional Labels stamp set, also from Mama Elephant.
