Wow at Wednesday Stampers this week the challenge titled 'envelopes'....
So as I said in my post below, I'm experimenting... and trying new things... well here is a couple of new things I've tried, firstly the 'credit card technique'.. using a credit card to swipe the paint over the envelope... I used 3 different colours to get this BG, then I've had a go at Masking, haven't really done much of this... and well now I can say i have done it.
Bit's I've used to create my first bit of Mail Art are - An envelope, Making Memories Paint- Monarch & Evergreen, Kaiser Paint - Raw Umber, Stampin Up Stamps - Print Pattern & Ephemera, Catslife Press Doll Face Post Stamp, Collections chipboard heart,Artchix Studio words & wings, Black Cardstock (I used the 7 Gypsies metal Plate for a template ) Versa Mark Black ink and Clear Embossing Powder, and my machine.
May you all have a very Blessed Easter
