SSCB#7


Envelope Art!
Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog

This is the back of the envelope. I colored this with my 
watercolor pencils and water pen.


 For this challenge we were asked to decorate the outside of an envelope, but it still need to me mailable. I often stamp the outside of an envelope,but found it a bit hard to do one for a DT project. I wanted it to look as thought I put in some effort and yet needed it to be mailable. I knew I was going to go patriotic. I kept it simple with just a bit of layering and paper piecing, on the porch flag. I just love that stamp.
Please stop by and see the rest of the DT projects.

    This is such a cute envelope. It is like a giant sign to the recipient that the contents will be special.

    Now how is the recipient going to throw this away? It needs a frame! Just gorgeous.

    I love your flag envelope Marybeth...the front and back look so patriotic...love the paper pieced flag and just enough layering so that it can still go in the mail. Your coloring was perfect on this one...love the watercoloring.

    Beautiful, Marybeth! Love the patriotic theme. The red watercoloring looks fabulous and the paper piecing adds just the right amount of dimenson!
