Mail Art
This is the challenge from the Three Muses today. I decided to go for wild and vibrant, a bit different to my usual entries! So I took one plain white envelope and put on it a few small blobs of green acrylic paint (I chose acrylic so it won't run if it gets wet in the post) and scraped them across the paper with an old credit card. When this had dried I did the same with turquoise and then yellow paint. I left a fairly blank area in the middle for an address to be written. I then stamped on some images, mostly from Tim Holtz's stamps from Stampers Anonymous, using Stazon ink (again because it's waterproof) around the edges.

So many beautiful pieces of mail art this week through the Muses letterbox, and this one Jackie is summery with such bright and happy colours. Thank you also for sharing how you decorated your envelope so that I might try your technique myself.
Absolutely gorgeous
