Mail Art Week! Envelope No. 4 – Colorful Clouds & Masked Name

Happy Thursday! I love today’s envelope–it’s so happy and colorful! For my fourth installment of Mail Art Week, I created an ink blended and masked “rainbow cloud.” I used the Slimline Ribbon and Lace Border dies from Sunny Studio to create the scallop edge. I also used the Hayley Uppercase and Hayley Lowercase dies to create the masks for Alison’s name.

Hi all! Today is my third installment for Mail Art Week. Today’s envelope features masking off the center area of the envelope and then using a stencil over the top.

Mail Art Week! Envelope No. 2 – Color Blocking

Welcome back for my second envelope in Mail Art Week! Today’s envelope features an easy way to highlight the recipient’s name with blocks of color. This looks particularly striking on a dark envelope (like the Aubergine envelope I used), but would be just as fun on a lighter envelope–which wouldn’t require acrylic paint pens, etc.

I used Acrylograph Paint Pens for most of the color. I used a couple Karin Pigment Decobrush markers as well.

I used Acrylograph Paint Pens for most of the color. I used one Karin Pigment Decobrush marker in Red Violet as well.
