I'm playing along today with this month's Hero Arts contest challenge and using a brand new stamp called Big Post Card. One of my favorite card makers, Jacqueline, has been using this with gorgeous results; just look at all the cards she's made with it already, one more amazing than the other!
So I pulled out a new paper pad, K&Co's Susan Winget's Floral Mat Pad and stamped the post card over one of the papers.
I used Latte chalk ink for most of the stamping and green hills mid-tone ink for the stamp.in the corner. I added some stamps from these HA sets: Three Dotted Flowers, Carte Postale, and So Artsy. The Happy Spring sentiment is from The Craft's Meow set Easter Blessings. The little glittered heart in the center of the flower is a Sticko Glittered Hearts sticker. Because this post card image is smaller than an A2 card, I was able to have my flower hanging over the edge and still fit it into an A2 envelope.
It's been fun playing today - thanks for visiting!

This postcard stamp is on my list! Love what you have done with it. Jacqueline has indeed made many gorgeous cards with it, too!
This is my new fave of yours! I bet it makes my top faves of the year!!! I am SO swooning over this, my friend! I have the stamp and can't wait to try it out, but I ADORE the Cat's Meow Easter Blessings set. The sentiments are so pretty! XOXO
Love this - perfect with that pp.
what a great card Lin. I can see the influence of Jacqueline but it does yell "LIN" as well. Beautifully done.
Seriously GORGEOUS, Lin!
OK - I just HAD to buy that Easter Blessings set! I haven't seen any sentiments that are prettier for this time of year!
Gorgeous card Lin! I was also inspired by Jacqueline to get this stamp too. I've already inked it for some publication submissions. I love it!
Hi Lin, I am so in love with your card - it's so gorgeous!!
Drop-dead gorgeous, Lin! I've been looking at this stamp and wondering what I'd do with it. Now I don't need to anymore - you've DONE it, and so very beautifully. What a lovely piece of art.
So, so beautiful Lin! Love the patterned paper you chose and all of the extra elements you added so perfectly!
