Musical bday (Michelle, SMC)

For July bdays (Snail Mail Collective), Michelle had music as one of her interests. So, I did this musical themed  bday greeting for her. (Split nib Automatic pen)

Matching set, diff. inks.

Bday to Irene (June)

Here is another one with extended pp lettering.

Sent to Irene for her June bday.

on the back flap

The insert wasn't anything special...just a letter w/"happy birthday" at the top.

 

bday to Carolyn (Rachel's mom)

I skipped the month of June for exchanging, but did ask Jean if there were any bdays, so I sent out a few. Here is one to Rachel Thomas' mom.

Magazine page inside clear env. 

(Zig fudebiyori metallic brush pen for name)

I covered up wording on the R side with pink paper and decorative images.

(forgot to take pic w/stamp)

Did the same on the back with Celebrate

Better view of happy birthday, written in metallic ink.

elongated to Angelique

Got the idea for her insert from the letter I did for Shannon (see June 29 post). Love the quote!

I was tempted to color in her name on the env. but was so afraid of ruining it, so I left as it in the silver lettering.

Better angle.

name border w/quote

on its side.

 

"Florals" to Lina

New version of my Alpha Garden letters (but with the Hummingbird stamps -- love these!)

I tried to match the flowers to the stamp.

Slant tip Parallel.

primary colors to Leanne

this env. is from my fun pack of Midori env.'s

Decided to add some yellow color to make it primary vs. just red/white/blue 

(but I still sent it out for July!)

hand-lettered Versals.

July 4th Throwbacks

Transferring over some old envies from previous blog, and came upon these:

Not sure the date on this one but b/4 2000. Callig marker for name and stamp for stars.

One to myself, using Architectural Lettering. (neuland variant)
