Monthly Mail Art with Kristina Werner – May 2018
Hello, all! Kristina Werner here again with more mail art! Last month’s Mail Art video (you can see it HERE) was a bit intense, so at the request of some of you, this month I created something more clean and minimal. This is a super easy (and yet striking) design.
The envelope I decorated is one of Simon’s envelopes and it was perfect for ink blending. I used the new Tap Dance stencil and ink blending to create a soft, quiet background for the envelope. The four colors of Simon ink that I used are Fog, Duckling, Catkin, and Mint.
After ink blending the background, I drew “wonky” lines in pencil to serve as guides for writing Tracy’s address.
NOTE: Address used with permission. Thanks, Tracy!
I used the extra fine Pilot Envelope Address Pen to write the address. I LOVE this pen! Not only is it waterproof, but it seems to last forever. :)
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy this month’s Mail Art. Thanks for stopping by!

I’m always happy to see this feature. I particularly like this month’s envelope because it’s quick but fun. I know my nieces destroy envelopes whenever they open them, so I don’t want to spend too much time on them, but I still want them to be fun. I’ll definitely have to try this with my stencils. Thanks for doing this series, Kristina!
Always love the mail art!
