dry markers

i've always liked the looks of dry markers. you can only do one name and then you have to put it away for a while. sometimes i go back and add to the name, but this time, i liked the way it looked and just left it.

one of my favorites. don't forget to save your dry markers.
it's too bad i don't take time to stuff the envelope so that i don't get the shadows from the flaps. maybe the lines are interesting. another wavy line to use for the address.

this is the beginning of 50 envelopes that i did for sandy for her 50th birthday. then i put them all in a book. then i showed it to her, but i asked her if i could keep it for a while because i wanted to scan the envelopes. i think that was 5 years ago.

this was the first envelope i did and i was going to do all 50 envelopes using the same stamp because i thought that was a good challenge, to see if i could come up with 50 ideas for one stamp.

how many do you think i ended up doing with this stamp?

anything organic is easy to use for a design element. dry markers are great for writing names. they have just enough juice for one name. then put the cap on and later, they'll have enough juice for another name. i keep the dry markers together so i can use them up.
