Tie Dye Lettering on an Envelope

Happy Wednesday, all! Today I’m sharing with you a mail art envelope I made while trying out watercolor tie dye lettering. This is a super easy technique and can be adapted to painting images (not just letters). I used Karin markers for this particular envelope, but similar looks can be achieved with any watercolor medium.

Enjoy!
