Easter to George

I saw George's name lettered SO lovely on IG, that I had to try to copy:

This guy's work is SO amazing -- I love it. I aspire to letter like him. 

Anyway, here is my attempt at a copy:

I was super thrilled with how it turned out (even though I made a few changes). But of COURSE I lettered it on scrap paper. And instead of trying to redo, I decided to send anyway. I used a ruined env. that turned out to be perfect (size and color).

I also used a folded pen vs. his stick and brush.

At first I wanted to cut around the name, BUT that would have shown too much of the ruined part of the env., so I just covered the whole thing.

I forgot to take a pic of the back, which was only the return address, however, I cleverly covered up the other return address I had on it first. I just made it into an abstract design. (Maybe Jean will post a pic or send me one if I ask.)

Although not traditional Easter colors, I also made an insert card to match.

with the stamp. Am hoping they can't see the printing on the opp. side of the paper. At least you can't see the ruined name on the env. itself.
