as luck would have it, like many of us, I have some envelopes to create for some monetary gifts for Christmas.. which was probably the reason behind the timing of the challenge. There have been some fabulous posts during the week to get us inspired.
Here goes!
I took took two A5 plain white envelopes and brayered Frescos
For my niece I used Bougainvillea and Tango Frescos, and a little bit of Bubblegum, brayered
stencilled in Snowflake, (not sure what this stencil is called but I was channelling the mistletoe look... kind of
used the Seth stencil to create a label, did some Snowflake and Little Black Dress bumping
stamped the Tracy Scott large circles "believe" stamp in Cactus Flower archival ink, but it's so dark both last night and this morning, I can't get a very good photo..
repeated on the back - you can see the stamp better on this side!
did some doodling round the stencilling
for my nephew, similar idea but in blues (how stereotypical of me!) I used Glass Blue, Beach Hut and Southern Skies and stencilled again, this time I bumped Snowflake on top of Little Black Dress
and the same frame in Snowflake with some doodling
Entering the Paperartsy challenge here...
wishing you all a very happy Christmas!
