EnvShelly - June08

Size: 6" h x 10.75" w

I used Arches Text Wove paper to do the calligraphy using a Haff 231 Ruling Pen and Ecoline Inks and then touching the wet edges with a contrasting color using a small water brush (Yellow Light, Scarlet, Light Green, Ultramarine Light & Red Violet).  The letter "S" was hand drawn, then outlined with a Zig black marker. The surface was dampened and the Ecoline inks dropped in and moved around to blend (Light Green, Ultramarine Light, and the background colors Yellow Light, Scarlet). When the letter was totally dry I went over the "S" with some diluted Winsor & Newton Iridescent Medium just to give it a bit of glitz.

I cut the paper with a decorative edged rotary cutter and glued it to my envelope.

The envelope is made using Single Folio Cream paper from Columbia Mills and was colored with Pan Pastels around the edges (Violet, Phthalo Green) using a cotton ball. I then used a Crackle Rollagraph and Brilliance Copper stamp pad and Queen's Gold embossing powder.
