Mail art Monday !!!

Hello everyone,

Welcome to Mail Art Monday !

Today,  I am sharing a mail art envelope with you. It is a little tutorial so sit back and enjoy !

First of all the finished envelope :

Front:

Back:

Here's how I made it:

I started out with a standard envelope. Of course you could use or make any size you want. 

First thing I did, was mask off the address section with a bit of post-it tape. You see I have used this before ! 

I decided to use acrylic paints and a brayer to create my background. It will be more weather proof with acrylic paint as well. 

Here's how it looked when I just started rolling on the paint... 

I used: Orange, pink, green and turquoise..

After I finished rolling the paint I took off the mask. 

Next is stamping ! My favourite bit !

Here is a 'halfway'look....I used different colours of ink to stamp the background.

A bit more stamping....I also doodled around the address space with a black marker. 

Here, the stamping is finished and I thought it needed some white..... 

So here is the finished product with white stencilling added.... Hope you like it....

Of course I couldn't ignore the back of the envelope....

I used the following stamps:

19432 Banksy Spray Can cop 

19566 Bubble wrap texture

19571 Writing triangles

8214 Ransom note

19402 Banksy Painter

19562 Deliver to

19015 Dictionary page 

19578 Six staples 

19567 Writing circles background

Thank you so much for stopping by today !
