FEB to Mary



Grrrrr- at the S. After doing a rough idea of how it would fit with a white pencil, I stumbled on the S. This might be the very last of the brown envelopes. But, I have some blacks and navy blues - so - I might revisit this concept as I think it has potential. 

I'm on a mission to find really good ways to put clear addresses into designs. The designs have to have some flexibility to allow for those longer addresses. If I were to re-do this one, I'd have more grid lines. That white edge on the stamp could fit into a white box. It would be a bonus to have smooth white lines on all four sides of the stamp.

As much as I love stamps that come in booklets, the way the stamps have inconsistent borders can create issues. Not big issues. Just those minor issues that you have to ignore - but secretly, you really want to fix them. Some of you are scratching your heads and might not understand what I am talking about. Others are nodding - and they know exactly what I mean.

Onward.

  1. I'm nodding. The devil is in the details, but even so, I did not notice the stumble on the s. I think it just needs one of those whispy white lines. Is it too straight? Is that what you don't like about it?

  2. Yes - the bottom should be curved. I did add a wispy white pencil line but it's not enough to disguise the defect.
