| So, my dear friend Kate puts this in the mail... without my address on it, but it does have her RETURN address *in an unconventional area* with the word "FROM" clearly on the envelope.... well, the USPS decides that it should be returned to her afterall....That is, UNLESS, they saw the 44 cent stamp (it's 45 cents now, for those of you who use Online banking and don't mail anything anymore)...read on... |
 |
| But... that's clearly not the case because she puts it in another envelope, this time with my address, and it gets to me... with a 44 cent stamp....Interesting! Whodathunk!?? |
 |
| I had MANY July birthdays this year to send cards to so I sort of did them all at the same time using the same "inspiration" and idea.... Sorry if you see this and realize yours wasn't the ONLY one of this design.... they all were handmade and of course... all a little different.... |
 |
| It was written with Doc Martin's BleedProof white and then the heart was a stencil in which I used pastels in different colors. I had to use a fixative as it was rubbing off.... Address has been altered for protection of recipient! I hope she doesn't see it before she receives it as I mailed it today! I maybe should have waited to post this, but time is of the essence. |

| Time to pay my dues.... This was sent to Terry in Houston as my dues became due.... I got the color inspiration from the lovely little stamps which the USPS has out right now... they are Forever stamps and I think they are just darling.... Represented are: Nemo, Avengers, Woody and his girlfriend, Bugs Life and Monsters, Inc. SO colorful!!! |
 |
| I turned a fat, multi-colored pencil on its side to write the big letters, lined them with a black micron marker and then added more color with other colored pencils to match the stamp even more. |
