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.
