Mail Art Envelope

Second post for today - thanks for bearing with me :-)
After quite some time I'm happy to join the Art Journey Challenge again, one of my favorite challenges.
This time the gorgeously talented DT asks for mail art envelopes and I made two pieces.

For the first one I cut a few freehand clouds and masked them as well as a piece of paper to keep the space for the address clear. The background was sponged with several distress ink pads, trying to blend the colors together. Then I stamped various AJ stamps onto it and colored them lightly with watercolor pencils.


For the second one - with matching postcard - I used the gelli printing plate and a few stencils to create the background. Then here too several of those adorable AJ images were stamped, they have stunning steampunk stamps among others. I used watercolor pencils on those too to give the images a bit of color.




Thanks a bunch for taking the time and stopping by. Have a lovely day all of you, sun is shining around here and I really hope it will stay a bit.

Hugs, Suzanne xxx
