Env done on Genoa Bond paper in a Western style lettering using the 5.0 end of a ZIG black calligraphy pen, a red pen and adding Uniball gold gel pen dots.

I used a piece of Edge Mixed Media heavy paper for both the env and card trying out different powders to create her name done in Lisa Engelbrechts funky lettering style. For the envelope I used Bister powders (Yellow, Red and Blue), a 3.0 Parallel pen dipped in water and when dry, shadowed with a Juice Up pen. Adhered the artwork to a plain envelope and added a geli print border.

For the card (7"w x 5"h) I used Brusho Powders (yellow , red & ost Blue) and shadowed with a Caran d'Ache B pencil and paper stump. Mounted on a yellow cardstock card base.

For the envie I used a heavy weight (unknown brand) of text paper. I adhered the design done on Canson Mixed Media paper to the front and camouflaged it with the red border...

Address with 2 colors of Juice Up pen.
Card was something I created last year.

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.

I've been playing with my wax seals again (it's been years since I used them last...) so had to add one to your card front.
