ellen no. 2


this stamp did not look like it was going to be a good inspiration. i use it as an example to take a minor color in a stamp and use it for the major color for the lettering. then use the major stamp color as the accent on the lettering. in this case, a stamp that looked pretty blah at first glance turned the envelope into one of my favorites. fun layering on the letters. cute little flourish mimics the smoke in the stamp.

  1. Can not say it enough - love these envelopes! Thanks for this wonderful blog! I visit often.
    Brush lettering is so much fun and freeing from our tight pen work.
