one of my students who has just started sending decorated envelopes reported that people are sending her a written thank you when she sends them a thank you in a decorated envelopes. so, i figured i should do the same when i received a thank you from erin. i knew i should not let all the colorful markers near my desk or i would be distracted for the rest of the day. i wondered if all black lettering would be good with the celebrate stamp. i've done lots of fun envelopes using the different letter styles and matching the colors. i am actually quite pleased with this first run. i like using the curly cap E three times. then there is a mixture of script and font looking letters. it needed something really contrasty to scripts and fonts, so the O was a natural letter to pull out as an odd-ball. of course, scribbling is the go-to technique when looking for contrast.
i'll fix the bottom of that K in jake before i mail it. funny how every little defect shows up in a scan...but, i don't have time to scan, fix and re-scan
