Today's project is decorating an envelope.......
My colour choice was inspired by Color Throwdown
I thought they where really pretty colours.
I used Concord & 9th Wildflower Stamp Set
and New to me their Perfectly Penned Stamp set.
I was keen to see if I could link the alphabet together.
It went OK!
I will be entering the challenge.....
I stamped the flowers with white pigment ink
and painted the colours with watered down acrylic paints.
The flower stamp set is so pretty and I enjoyed using the new alphabet set.
The card to go in it is nearly finished!

Such a lovely envelope, love the stamps, and yes you have perfectly lined up the alphabets.
Oh it's beautiful ... Just imagine receiving this in the post! It's fun to try something new and one of the reasons I love to visit here .. you always come up wit something special! Love the stamp set by the way ... Have a great day!
Beautiful take on the colour challenge!
Awesome idea! So much more fun (and beautiful!) than a plain old envelope. I love the coloring on kraft, too. Thanks so much for joining us at Where Creativity Meets C9!
You did a great job with the alphabet set, it definitely looks hand drawn. The lightly painted flowers are really nice! I want to try that technique with the watered down paint!
WOW!!! LOVE that envelope! I would never be able to throw that away! LOVE the technique you have used and I definitely thought that it was written by hand! Great job Mac my friend! Have a wonderful week! Hazel xx
What an elegant envelope design and idea.
