PWCO Charlotte's Holiday Mail Wall Hanging

Good morning. It's mid March already. I know some of you already enjoy so much sunshine and the nice warm weather. However, in our area, it seems like the wetness is not going away. It's been raining for so many days in a row. We even had snow not long ago. I so longing for some nice and warm weather now.

Today, I made a little wall/door knob hanging project. I used Christmas Freckle Stamps - Charlotte's Holiday Mail image from the Little Loud Stamp. I got a chipboard frame, then painted it with some distressing crackle paint. I stamped the images separately, put the mailbox inside the frame, then set the little girl image on top.

I am going to use today's project for the following challenges:
C.R.A.F.T.Challenge #93
- Doorhanger
Fab 'n' Funky Challenge #63 - Make it Girly
Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Anything Goes
Gingerloft Challenge #13 - Use those flowers
Fairy Tale Challenge #10 - Kinder/Childrens

Edwin Bunny Thinking of you card

Good morning everyone. Today, I prepared you a CAS Edwin card. I am sure many of you know that I love Magnolia stamps and mostly I use Tilda since I am not too good at making male cards. However, I love Edwin too, so I am taking a challenge on myself to make a card using Edwin. This card was used with Edwin Bunny and Stone Wall with End Pillar from Magnolia-licious.

I am using this card for the following challenges:
Moving Along with the Times Challenge #89 - Card/Project for a male
Creative Craft World Card Challenge - A card for a male
Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge #48 - Green
Crafty Purple Frog Challenge - Things with wings
Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Anything Goes
OLLCB Challenge #75 - It's a man thing
SFC88 - Grateful for green
Magnolia Stamp Lover Challenge - Button & Bling

Here is my finished Edwin card. I stamped the wall image on the white cardstock, then airbrushed the background, then colored the image with Copic Markers. I colored the Edwin image on another paper, then cut him out to lay him on the wall.
I just hand cut a couple of cloud shapes and added stickle on them. Since this is a boy theme card, I didn't want to add ribbon, so I added some mini button brads on the side instead.
