Monthly Mail Art with Kristina Werner – July 2018
Hello, all! Kristina here with another Monthly Mail Art! This month’s envelope is super simple and easy–just a few supplies!
I used a black envelope (any dark surface will do), the Line Dance stencil, and different colors of Gelly Roll pens.
First I taped the stencil to the envelope to keep it in place while I worked. I traced the stencil design with alternating colors of gel pen, making sure to avoid neighboring sections using the same color. I planned to use the center-left section as the area for the mailing address, so I outlined that section with a fine white Gelly Roll pen. I also added thin white stripes to some of the smaller sections.
After removing the stencil, I penciled in the mailing address and then went over it with a bold white Gelly Roll pen. Super easy and quick!
NOTE: Mailing address used with permission. Thanks, Kasey!
Thanks for stopping by!

What a super mailart! That is so awesome!
This looks so cool Kristina. I love that graphic stencil and what an awesome way to use it! ♥
Love this envelope! The colors and stencil used gives it an awesome look.
Like the envelope art with dark paper & jelly roll ink. Was wondering if the actual envelope reaches the recipient undamaged & in normal time? Reason I ask is that I sent some envelopes I had decorated (not nearly as good as yours but decorated nonetheless) and it took over 3 wks to reach the person (sent from Central TX to: FL & GA).

I like the black envie with the modern design.
You’re so bold with your mail art. Not sure I would be that courageous to do what you do. I love how your envelopes come out and thank you for sharing your tips. I bought the gel pens and haven’t used them very much but this gives me some ideas.
Really awesome envelope!

Awesome envelope! Love the neon colors on the black and how simple it was to achieve such a great look. You always have the most interesting stamps too!
Those neon gel pens really pop on the black cardstock.
Fabulous envelope! What a fun way to use a stencil like that too! Loved the neon pens on the black as well. So cool!
Very cool design!!
Nice, but the post is surely thrilled to have to sort that with hand as that is not readable by machines.
So beautiful! And what a great way to stretch my stencils!
I love the black! One of my favorite colors!
this is an awesome idea:)
I love your colors and the graphic design.
