scribbles

in a perfect world, i would have time (take time) to do graceful elegant envelopes to go with graceful elegant stamps. these two stamps are very nice and deserved better envelopes. i'm not apologizing for scribbling, just saying the stamps would have been better with more formal traditional lettering. if you compare the lettering on these to the playfulness of the snowman stamp below, you will see that they are in the playful category. we must use the stamps we have on hand and if we only have a minute or two, it's better to scribble up a fun envelope and send it on it's way. i like the design element of the heavy black bars added to my faux-neuland. the detail on the blue lettering was done with gel pen.
