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