graceful envelope no. 1

my blog needs more variety. this was a winning entry in the graceful envelope contest. the top scan is a scan of a color copy of the actual winning envelope. the lower scan is the practice envelope to see if i could cut the words in the address out of card stock. i then adhered the words to the envelope, sprayed it with spray glue and then covered it with aluminum foil, dull side up. burnished it and dropped it in the mail. to see lots of fun envelopes go to
