I love decorating envelopes and decided to join in this exchange

Note: 90% of my cards are 5 x 7

The card was created with one of my wax seals (frog... I Love Frogs)  and the text with gel pen and blue Juice Up pen in Blue Rider font.

Envie made with Canson Mixed Media paper. Cadel style initial using a 3.4 parallel pen and 2 brushes, one loaded with water and the other 2 with a green and blue watercolor (Holbien Permanent Green #1 & Peacock Blue) dropped into the wetness. Thin lines with a pointed nib.

The card: Wax seal turtle and Dot lettering

The card was created for a Scribbled Lives challenge (Cut & Paste) funky letters cut from brown craft cardstock and doodled with a white gel pen.

The doodling is something I saw in a book by Helen Williams (Design To Detail). Leaves painted with Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils.

Envie made with Elephant Hide paper embossed your name using a double layer of Staples 110# cardstock to create the Wes Wilson style letter template and then using 4 sizes of embossing tools. Shadowed the letters with a Posca brownish pencil crayon. The address done in an Art Nouveau style with a ZIG Writer.

The card: I saw some flowers on a friend's blog and had to draw them... using Posca colored pencils, Gold gel pen for the cross hatching on the oval and a Juice Up pen for the words.
