Yesterday I worked nearly all day on a mini-book, but I can only give you a sneak-peek today as I want it to be a surprise for the buddy I am swapping with. I know she likes pink, so used a lot of victorian velvet and antique linen here, to give soft and natural colours.
It was great fun to make, anyhow, and the rest will be revealed when it has been sent and received!
And I made a mail-art envelope / label for the *Three Muses* Challenge. The task here was to create an envelope or mail art piece, and as I have some books to send off next week, I have made this to send them.
It is a large (A4) mixed media piece, using collage, stamping and rub ons in layers one over the other. I am wondering what the dear lady at the post office will have to say this time!
So, that was it for today! Have a good day, take care and thanks for stopping by!
I love your mail-art envelope, such a lot too look at and I can't wait to see the mini book. Have a lovely Easter.
