gelli envelopes!

MMSA recently announced a hand made envelope swap. Last time she had one, I made extras and really enjoyed using them, so this time I made a bunch. Twenty, to be exact. Took about 90 minutes of thrashing with paint and brayers and stencils and envelopes, and it was a blast. Nothing like some time with the gelli plate. (did this after I came home from blueberry pancakes and bacon for breakfast, so I was already in a good mood lol)

The black dots and splats are a black bingo marker from the dollar store.

I couldn't face the thought of scanning both sides of every one, so I took group pics. First pic is fronts, second pic is backs. Colors/patterns used on fronts and backs mostly have no relationship to each other, I just grabbed envelopes at random as I changed colors and stencils.
