Envelopes galore....

Using Walnut ink with a parallel pen I wrote Juanda and then
added some doc martin's Bleedproof white for the accents when it was
completely dry

Here is a little closer view

I left the white lines on there to show that it is BEST if you use LINES
if you want your lettering to look good. 

This was a "left over" wedding invitation from my
sister's wedding  few years ago.  I made quite a few of
these "outside covers" with acrylics, a cuttle bug folder and
some elbow grease.  I thought that was just lovely. The
hand created marbled paper for the band adds a nice contrast.

Inside of the card... coordinating colors and the use of some
marbled paper I created for accents.

A birthday card sent to Toni... my shared birthday girl...
This was done on Tyvek paper.. which is the stuff that you
use when you send the USPS envelopes at the Post Office...
Very durable... like plastic and not the easiest to write on...
You can get some really nice, leather type affects, though just by
rubbing some ink or paint on the papera

Sent to Houston with love... using a technique that Barbi Close taught
at the latest CCS workshop...using black in and then spritzing it with water.
