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.
Enjoy the video!

Love! What size markers did you use, the .7 mm or 3.0 mm?

Hi Kristina,
As always I love your envelope.
Could you please tell me the width of the pen you used to colour your card?
There are several thicknesses in the store and I don’t know which to buy….
Many thanks.

I am absolutely awed by how great these are. I’ve been trying to come up with ideas
