Last week featured incoming Oct and Nov envelopes - and possibly some real time posting of incoming Dec envelopes - at least that's the plan I came up with when I loaded all the photos and decided to hold off on blurb writing. It's still that snowy Saturday right after T-day as I write this.
I ended up sending holiday themed envelopes for the November exchange. I tried to do some *thankful* themed envelopes but did not care for them so I switched to these stamps. I like the designs and colors and was pretty sure I'd have really good ideas.
They are not wildly inspired but the colors are nice. Neuland is one of those styles that *drips from my fingers.* That's the expression that Sheila Waters used for that feeling you get when you have practiced a style so much that you don't have to think very hard about all the subtle details. I love that expression.
The green marker is a little bleedy. I think it would have been nicer to have sharp, crisp edges. But I like the way these turned out.
I don't remember what order I did these three. Kate's has all white. Lucy has the white in-line and multi colored holly leaves. Irene's has multi colored holly leaves. All three have various amounts of bounce.
