Here's another one that's just like all the others only it has a different stamp.
Below is a detail from the envelope I did for Mary.
I spent soooo much time on the border and then kept adding things that had something wrong with them - and kept thinking that it would eventually be cute - and it never got to the level of so many problems that it turned cute. My last ditch effort was to put myself in pencil, peeking through the curtain - but that's not as cute as some of my pencil sketches. Or maybe it is. It's hard to be objective about self-portraits. That it is so poorly drawn is probably an appropriate way to portray myself. The deeply regret comment is the only cute thing on the envelope. We have Rachael to thank for that.
I couldn't even remember to leave room to write *this hot mess is for* - grrrrr - I had to squeeze in the *is for*
I probably shouldn't point out a problem that is probably not that noticeable. I colored in the three scallops on the east coast of the envelope - then I switched to the straight edge all the way around - which caused stripes. Grrrr at myself. And the frame around the stamp is dreadful. It should have been scalloped. And I need to stop with the templates.
