FP alpha sketch book page

 Going through sketchbooks and decided to convert this into an env. for Jean.

Brown ink and folded pen lettering. Added 3d metallic sticker embellishments and glitter glue.

With TY card, as Jean gave me some Walnut Ink crystals.

 "Exuberant. That's the first word that pops into my head. Obviously, I like Leslie's envelope for the use of the alphabet and walnut ink. I'm not sure if she planned on putting the stamp in a portrait orientation, but, it wasn't anything I had thought about doing. So - once again, something really simple packs a fun punch. 

Note the circle around the zip code. Mr. Grease Pencil almost added to the overall design. If he would just work on his ovals -- he could have made it fit in with that other spiral on the left. 

Another detail worth noting is the dot+bar on the j. It's like a floating serif. It makes me want to do a whole series of floating serifs. Or maybe Leslie wants to do one for us."

It always cracks me up on what Jean notices and points out. No mention of my 3d details, but she notices the letters themselves (the cross bar on the j!)  :D   Also, her grease pencil comment gets an LOL! Regarding stamp placement (and I posted this to her blog in comments), I put it that way so as not to cover up the design. Guess I could have tried to angle it, but I'm sure that looked weird. Anyway, glad it went through ok and that my 3d pieces stayed on!
