Sunflower to Jean

 So, this one is rather lame. It's another freebie I got (donations mailing list) and I tried to paint a sunflower on a watercolor env. to match.

It was done in a hurry, so if I had planned it out better, it may have turned out to my liking.  But my sunflower looks rather ratty.

(Used a Posca pen for her name: extra fine point in gold)

Red to Carolyn (PTEx, Sept)

I love how this one turned out, not only the "design" and lettering, but matching the stamp too.

Even though the stamp is orange, the env. has just enough orange-red in it to match!

Used an extra fine pt. Posca marker for her name.

Now, the insert! #love !!  😊

It's a piece i did for my P&I takeover week on IG:  Used my ruling pen and iridescent ink to make a gestural alpha (vertical, but turned on its side for the insert). I just colored it in with red & yellow to match the env. & stamp and added a "hello".

Then, when I saw the finished design, I thought it would make a cool decorated envelope as well! Can't wait to duplicate! (The design will be at the top or angled.)

alpha garden to Nele

Quick design to Nele. I haven't sent her one of these yet, so it was time!

Used my slant tip Pilot Parallel pen.

Also, I can't believe I didn't take a picture of this, but luckily, i was able to get from Nele in the collage pics she sent (so, obviously, not the best quality):

 

Embossed to ME

Have been doing some #mail2myself lately, and this is one of my creations from earlier this summer: 

Backyard Games stamp where I tried using the ball as the dot for the i. Didn't turn out that great. However, my embossing did! Love how my folded pen name turned out too.

After going through the mail.

Close ups of embossing.

Back to School! (Jean & Janet)

I love this idea I came up with!!

Thought it fitting, not only for back to school, but BOTH Janet and Jean are former teachers!

 

I've had these stickers for YEARS (probably for scrapbooking), and got the idea to use them for a Back to School theme. Worked out great with this yellow notebook paper!

 (And, as always, my heart stamps matched perfectly!)

I love the apple on both the front and back:

Hope she likes the "apple for the (snail mail) teacher!"

The insert went perfect too (colors AND quote). Gave Janet the original.

Zucchini to Janet

Lately, I've been tiring a bit with my magazine page envies, but at the same time, I see how creative and fun they can be, so I still decide to send them.

I thought this one perfect for end of summer. Plus I LOVE how the stamps colors match!

 

Scooby to Patty

Yes, I'm still using the Scooby stamps! And again, thank you to Janet for the idea!

Flower kinda failed. 

with insert.

Extra watercolor piece I turned into an insert. So pretty.
