Hello Again Crafty Friends!!!
Today I am excited to share one of my vary favorite things...
Yes, you guessed right, Mail art!!
Anyone who follows me knows that mail art has a special place in my heart!
Something about it just makes me giddy!
Today I want to share a fun and kind of silly/whimsical envelope that I just LOVE.
I love animal/people hybrids so this donkey was instant love for me, but he needed a kind of whimsical envelope to keep him in his own little world.
Maybe a forgotten part of wonderland?
Stamps Used:
I started with and A2 size envelope and a piece of scrap paper. On the scarp paper I began by stamping the "typeset scallop", and the "writing chevron". I also stamped these two on the envelope where I wanted them to be. (*note if you want to "mask" the donkey, rather than cut him out and glue him down he should be stamped on the envelope 1st*, and a mask should also be created).
On a separate piece of paper I stamped my donkey gentleman so that I could color him and cut him out.
Next, I colored then covered my 2 stamped images with my "masks", this allowed me to lay down a heavy layer of inks and some stenciling. When the inks dried I added a few flicks of water to add extra depth.
You can see below I added a label to add an address. I added a bit of ink around the box for extra depth. (this was before I glued down my awesome donkey gentleman).
Below you can see the finished piece, and the postage stamp that I picked to go with it.
(I haven't stuck it on yet, just in case I send international)
Thank you stopping by the blog today!!
