Halloween Envelopes

Hello and welcome!

My last post was about my Halloween cards,

today's post is about the envelopes I made for those cards.

I started by making the envelopes with white card stock

and my We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board

I then stamped images onto the envelopes

and colored them with my Fantasia Colored pencils

This is "Pumpkin Vine Stamp"

QKR Stampede

I drew the banner freehand and added Mom's name.

This is done with 

"Ghost" Eureka Stamps

"Halloween Border"  Eureka Stamps

My friend loaned me this stamp, I don't know

what company it is from.

My friend also loaned me this stamp.

The background with the clouds doesn't show very well

in the pictures, but in real life it turned out pretty cool.

This one I didn't realize that I hadn't colored the 

owl or broom until I took the picture.

I may just leave it white like this, or maybe color the 

broom and leave the owl white.

I have never done any artwork on envelopes before,

but I was inspired by Kristina Werner in 

this video.

Kristina is one of my favorite artist and bloggers,

she does a mail art video every month and I've wanted

to give it a try.  This was the perfect time and I loved

the way they all turned out.  I'm sure I'll be doing more

mail art in the future.

If you haven't checked out Kristina's blog you should

do so, she's really quite wonderful and talented.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you were inspired in some way.

Maybe you'll give mail art a try, I hope so.

See you next time, you never know what you'll find on
