Morning, all! Today I have another Monthly Mail Art video for you. This one will only be appearing at my blog this month (since the Simon Says Stamp blog is bursting with STAMPtember goodness). I didn't want to miss out on designing a new envelope. And since Altenew's STAMPtember exclusive stamp set, Fabulous You, just came out yesterday, I thought it would be the perfect stamp set to use.

After creating this envelope, I would have changed the order of a few things. First, I would have painted the envelope with the black Bombay Ink first. Then I would have stamped and gold embossed the large floral image from the Fabulous You stamp set. That way, the gold embossing would be at it's brightest.

I used Kuretake Zig's Gansi Tambi Starry Night palette to paint pearlescent gold watercolor over the flowers. I also splattered some of the gold paint (although I think I would skip this step if I recreate this envelope in the future).

To address the envelope, I used more of the same gold watercolor paint and wrote Ashley's name and address using an oblique pen holder from InkMeThis.

NOTE: The address on the envelope is used with permission. Thanks, Ashley!

Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed today's video. Thanks for stopping by!
