This is another 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 computer generated and printed the address using Wonton font on a laser printer. I then masked it and the small section for the quote and repeatedly rubber stamped the Chinese Symbols (Local King Rubber #09FABG001) with Versafine "Crimson Red" stamp pad and embossing with Queen's Gold.  I then sponged Distress stamp pads "Satin Red", "Crimson Red" & "Aged Mahogany" around the edges, removed the masks and made stencils the same size as the masks and added a bit more mahogany in the stencil area.

Rubber stamped the quote (Quietfire Design) with the Crimson, and the Bamboo (Inkadinkado "Asian by Design" set #98626) with Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed both.

Added my two Year of the tiger stamps.
