I tried really hard to make a nice envelope for Kate, the donator of the stamps. Putting the stamp on the left side resolved the proportion problem. I tried to pull out some gold from the stamp, but that wasn't working. I always like writing a little blurb on envelopes and Mary was pointing at something so I thought I'd have her point at the caption. Then I had to write Deep Regrets in the awkward space under the stamp.
I remember a lot from art history but I sure don't remember why Mary is prone to pointing in the paintings with her baby. I bet there is a reason, but nothing popped up on Google. Maybe someone knows and will shoot me an email. A lot of people are pointing straight up in renaissance painting. I assume they are pointing to heaven or God.
Deep regrets on the gloppy, bold *give thanks* on JeanR's. I liked the appropriated wreath. I had a major lapse when I did a thanksgiving message and motif on a Dec envelope. Very strange how that happened. But, my new normal is full of those kinds of glitches.
I'm going to bury a couple more because they have deeply regrettable components. The colors are fine. The stamps are so cute. I cant't seem to articulate why they are regrettable. Maybe Mia's is too busy and Rachael's is too blah. Maybe *dangling* is a lot trickier than it looks. Maybe I need to do a deep dive into the subtle nuances of dangling.
I did a deep dive into *sprinkling* and I have a tried and true method for sprinkling doo-dads and making sure they are the right proportion. Maybe we will explore sprinkling and dangling in January.
