Mail Art

I made one of these envelopes for each of the girls in the Creative Team.  I started by adding shades of yellows and browns to the blank envelope using Ranger Distress Inks.  Next, I stamped branches, grasses and birds.  I used metallic paints to add flowers, leaves and to color the grass.  Lastly I glued on the image of the woman and the butterflies.   The swirl in the center is just where I digitally blurred the address.

  1. Very cool......I especially love the swirled address...LOL

    Did you make each envelope the same, or are they all different?
