leaves from the elizabeths

elizabeth o. (top) and elizabeth w. both sent leafy envelopes in november. e.o.'s looks like she had some kind of stamp to make the leaves and e.w. looks like she used actual leaves. both are very pretty. who doesn't love leaves.

if you are tired of winter and looking forward to spring, you could do either of these with springy greens

thank you penpals.

p.s. i don't know what kind of ink or paint e.w. used but it is by far and away the shiniest metallic i have ever seen. it looks like car paint.

p.p.s. e.w. noted on the back of the envelope that her stamps were not the right ones, but she had to use what was on hand. the CPA stamp is perfect. i know how frustrating it is to not have the right stamps available....but at least the second one is not a flag.
