Altered envie for mail art swap


Here is an altered envelope I created for a swap in one of my art groups.
The Background was created with acrylic paints, distress stain in wild honey, a paper napkin and some gesso. I then added details with papers and stamps from Bo Bunny's new etc range, - love that line of papers. The images of the cute guys are from Altered Artifacts on Etsy.

This is the back

And this is the front

    Astrid, you always have such a beautiful, vintage "Look" to your pieces! I'd recognize your beautiful style any where. The lucky recipient is going to treasure this lovely piece! BTW - thanks for your good wishes, and good luck in my drawing. I know you'd love to add another Sharpie to your art supplies!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo
