This is the other reason that Patty received a full 50% of my envelope time in February. This was the envelope I had in mind for that skateboard stamp. But the fussy frilly border looked awful with the stamp. So I found these two - and then found a larger envelope so that I could just mail this inside an envelope that would hopefully be better.
If you look closely - you might be able to tell that I actually dug out some nibs and ink - although the ink is gouache. The nib is a teeny tiny scroll tip. That is not a good choice with gouache. Then I switched to a regular pointed nib. Another bad choice. Grrrr. I think that is the very last envelope in that shade of blue - glad to be rid of them. I could dig back through the blog and find some gingerbread house stamps on those envelopes that looked nice - but that is not a good use of our time.
The more I look at this the less I like it.
