DC Art envies, *Updated

 I addressed and sent off my DC art envies this month! (Loving the new circle stamps.)

Scroll to bottom to see original inspos.

Stamp matches perfect! (colors)

I so badly wanted the back flap to match, and mainly, the flap itself to be red (as when I saw this art, that's the first thing I thought!), but I didn't want to wet the seal (although I could have used glue or double sided tape). SO, I painted the bottom part and tucked in the actual flap.
This is shown flipped.

And this is the how the env. actually is (white part is the real flap)



2nd one:

Hate that the stamp covered up the design. Oh well. Still looks pretty good!

Did the back to match. (incorporated elements of the piece within the address)
Plan to do another one of these!

*(Jean got 2 Calders, as she is the only person I know who would probably appreciate them the most, because of her art background. So, of course, the pressure was on to make them perfect -- haha!)


Last one:



Again, the stamp matches! (My darn ink blobbed her name though -- grrr.)
See vid below for how I made the env. (one sheet folded, glued the sides together and matched the flap! Used acrylic paint for the colors.)

This would also make a fun postcard.
