CardzTV Stamps "You've Got Mail" Blog Hop Day 1

Hi Everyone. Welcome to CardzTV "You've Got Mail" Blog Hop. If you have come from Susan, then you are in the right place. If you just happen to stop by and would like to start at the beginning, please click here. This hop is all about Mary's new stamp set "Snail Mail". Mary is also giving away TWO sets of stamps to the winner. That is just so generous and believe me, you will have a hard time making a choice...all the stamp sets are wonderful!!! 

Here is my card:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:

Cardstock: White, Green and Blue

Elizabeth Dulemba Coloring Pages Digital Image 2013 New Year's Stork

CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps Snail Mail, "Special Delivery"

Spectrum Noir Markers

Silhouette Cameo

Cricut Cartridge Elegant Edges Stamp page 37, Shadow Shift

Cricut Design Studio

Darice Embossing Essentials Cloudy Day

Mounting Tape

I hope you can see the embossed clouds in the blue background. The stork is also double mounted. I was thinking of putting the stork on an Action wobble, however, it didn't fit. I think it would have given a neat effect though...lol. 

I feel like I used all my craft machines on this card...lol...the Cameo for cutting out the stork image, the Cricut for cutting the blue stamp image and the Big Kick for embossing the clouds.

Your next stop is Cathy. Here is the entire list, in case you get lost:
