Hello. Welcome. Supposedly it's Inspire Your Heart with Art Day today. Something to aspire to every day me thinks. So....... I have been meaning to join the Viva Las Vegas Stamps challenge. Their mood board is all browns and silhouette flowers. So I decided to try my very first mail art envelope. I searched for flowers in my VLVstamps and found a guy sleeping against a cactus. I want his dreams.........
I stamped and black embossed the man sleeping against the cactus, the Unicorn and the dream big sentiment. All VLVstamps and all NBUS. Then I did some watercolouring using distress inks, Ground Espresso, Tea Dye, Frayed Burlap and Hickory Smoke. I made the splatts using frayed burlap and Stamplorations Flutters and Splatters stencil. I think that's quite a fun envelope. Not bad for a first attempt.
Thanks for dropping by. Hugz
