Thelma (my good friend who got me started stamping) has a BIG milestone birthday coming up and this is the card I made for her.
Nothing ground-breaking to talk about technique-wise but I would like to mention the flower garland because it was hand-drawn by me after a few simple lessons from the queen of coloring books--Johanna Basford. She has a new book coming out this month that teaches her drawing methods.
I gave the garland some color with my Polychromos then cut it out and pasted it onto scrapbook paper.
The cardstock I mounted it on couldn't be a standard card size so I found some really great instructions here for how to make an envelope in ONE MINUTE. Really!
Then I decorated the envelope using inspiration from Kristina Werner and realize I need more interesting postage stamps for the next time I do this. (No pics for privacy reasons.)
I wonder if the post office would mind if I used a real stamp along with some fake ones like these? I'll have to try it and then let you know.
