"Congrats" to my boy!

my son bought his first house and will (HOPEFULLY -- haha!) be moving out soon!

And to congratulate him, I sent him a env. to his new address.

Wish I had thought to use some of the red from the stamp in the name but I forgot as I did this in a hurry.

practice name that turned out. (love!) Almost better than on the env. (story of my lettering life!)

and his first name. (Pilot Parallel)

 

April to Sharon (yr long exchange)

I had such fun with this name! (can you tell?)

For the env. I used a pp and white ink and for the letter, one of my callig markers.

I debated about coloring-in the white as it seemed to plain but then i was also worried about ruining it as I loved the simplicity of it too.

Same with the insert (but it didn't turn out quite like i wanted)

I could have connected the o to the r but too much design.

April to Lina

Wish I had written her last name over the "flourish" at the end of the a. Still in red, just not under her name (too close to the address).

 

Spring colors to Shannon

used my markers for this one. 

Various hands

did a little same on the back.
