It wasn't until I was completely finished with these and slipping them into the envelope to send them off to Karen that I realized the swap was for "hand made" envelopes. As in, fold your own. But Karen waived the you-must-fold-the-paper-yourself part of it since mine were every bit as decorated as most of the others will be. A few days ago I posted group shots of all 20 I gellied that day, but then I chose 5 for the swap and did a bunch of pen work on them. Here's three fronts and two backs. The black dots and splats are a bingo marker from the dollar store, either pressed gently or smacked down hard onto the paper. Love the splats!

Very cool envelopes! Love the colors, the arrows and the writing- this is real mail. I also love the bingo doppers they come in many colors if you buy them for kids :)
ReplyDeleteFab envies!!
ReplyDeleteYour envelopes are just about the best! I love the vibrant colors. What a lucky person who gets them in the mail. :-) Thanks for visiting my blog by the way.
ReplyDeleteGreat envies - I'll likely be working on mine this weekend....I love the bingo marker too - I have one in red and those splats end up here and there! I know I owe you a final AJ page - it's coming, I promise. I'll probably finish it up this weekend......
ReplyDeleteabsolutely gorgeous, and far more creative than just folding a piece of scrapbook paper into an envelope shape. I need to go change the swap details to specify it's okay to decorate/alter a pre-made envelope for this challenge.
ReplyDeleteThose look wonderful!
