You ever ride down the street and see a hand painted mailbox? I think those are soooo kool! I bought this stamp image with that in mind. When I was first learning to paint, my stampin' sister Marge trusted me enough to paint her mailbox. There's a photo below. Although it is inside her garage, her neighbors see it when the doors open. :o)
- Stamped the image on watercolor paper with archival ink
- Used waterbrush and travel watercolor kit to paint the image
- Painted flowers and leaves with acrylic paints

I love the mailbox that Trena painted for me! The blue flowers are so pretty. All my neighbors are envious. And I love the card, gorgeous coloring Trena!
