Oct to Janet, Rachael, Maggie, Nicky and Mary - Versals w/ Ed's skeleton

 

Back on Oct 26th I posted one envelope from this series. I did a total of 16. In the post - I gave Christi Payne credit for inspiring this style - and hoped that she was OK with me appropriating her style. I called her style *loose versal* and Christi kindly left a comment which included this:

And you’re pretty spot on … pen flourished illuminated versals (Lombardic) is what you’re doing there … & what you know I love to do. And I whole-heartedly agree that copying lettering styles is what we do, there is no shame, it’s how we learn. 

Thank you, Christi, for giving all of us permission to copy. The envelope on the 26th was the only one that I flourished with filigree work. I didn't have time to do enough practice on the filigree work so I switched to Ed Emberley. Those skeletons are so much fun to do.

Since there are 16 envelopes in this series, I will post them in groups so you don't get bored with same-old-same-old --- or is it --- same-ol'-same-ol' ?  

These all have a skeleton. The Keith Herring stamps coordinate nicely.
