Creating an Envelope Scene – Monthly Mail Art with Kristina Werner, December 2018
Hello all! Kristina Werner here. :) I’m back with another installment of Monthly Mail Art! For this month’s envelope, I used an itty bitty stamp set from Lawn Fawn, Oh What Fun!
First, I stamped the sledding bear in black ink on an Audrey Blue envelope. I drew a slope for him to be sledding on in black ink as well. I then colored the bear and the snowy ground using Faber-Castell Polychromos colored pencils.
To create a more dramatic sky, I blended Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink from the top of the envelope (and a bit from the bottom as well).
I wrote the recipient’s address in white gel pen, and added falling snow (or stars!).
NOTE: Address using with permission. Thanks, Kelly!
I finished off the envelope by adding postage stamps and my return address on the flap of the envelope.
Thanks for stopping by today! :)

Oh my gosh, this is so cute. And the recipient will know that something special is inside right away!! Too adorable.
I like how you used several different fonts, several different postage stamps, and white ink. This would have to be for a very special friend because it is great!
Oh Kristina, you are making me feel very inept…LOL (Just kidding), I really can think outside of the box….once in a great while! However, this is just way too cute, lucky Kelly.
Thanks for sharing your amazing ideas with us, we are all learning but you have a way of ‘forcing us’ to really think outside our creative box and I love that!
