Env: Created the env on Edge Mixed Media Sketchbook paper. I love this Blue Rider Typeface that I discovered a while back for your name on the envie and quote on the card front. Colored with Posca colored pencils. I'm using Tutti Designs Leaves Background "Tutti 388" die from white cardstock then colored with various Distress pads in yellow, red and green. Cut them apart to border the envie.

Envelope Donna Uncles - Aug 2024

I'm in my Guild's envelope exchange this year and for some reason I thought I was sending Donna one for Sept... Now you know where my brain is at... I had sent one to Donna a couple months ago. So back to the drawing board for the one I need to send to.

I had made this envelope a while back and it sat sitting in my pile of stuff... I used a too small piece of white paper for the envelope so added left over pieces of geli print paper. Then used the same colors for her name done in Moshik Nadav style lower case letters (I love this lettering style but it's only good for titles and stuff). Used a Nikko G nib and various brands of watercolors for her name. Juice Up pen for the address. The postcard is from a bunch of postcards I made a while back...

And of course I put the name upside down on the front so wrote "Ha Ha Upside Down" on the back of the envie... ROFL
