This is one of my envelope submissions for the Vamp Stamp Magazine for the March 2010 issue with the theme of "Envelope Mail".

I used 24# Neenah, Neutech 25% Cotton Ultra White Wove finish paper for my envelope. It's great for calligraphy, colored pencils and various other media. Our Guild was having a problem with Genoa Bond, so opted for this instead. It's also a lot whiter than the Genoa bond we've used in the past.

I drew my undulating lines and then wrote in my letters (not quite touching the undulating lines, in a funky monoline with similarities to Rennie Mackintosh and some of my own quirks shot in. I then went over all my lines and letters with a Zig Writer. I used Prisma colored pencils along with a white and a Lyra Splender Blender to color the spaces between the letters. I added Ritz micro fine glitter to some of the details like the diamonds between words and the dots on some of the letters.

I then rubber stamped the floral sprigs (Inkadinkado "Floral Flourishes" # 97633) u Added my 2 sing Kaleidacolor Rainbow Pads "Fresh Greens" & "Spectrum" and clear embossing. Sponged some greens around the edges with Color Box Chalk "Lime Peel" and VersaMagic "Spanish Olive".

Added my two floral stamps.
