Stippled Envelopes

As promised, here are some stippled envelopes.


I used a lot of different colors on this envelope. I added pieces of sticky notes to the address areas to keep them white.  I used a light hand so that if I want to add some stamped images (collage style), they will still be visible.


I love the colors on this envelope.  I stippled the envelope first, then stamped the leaves.  The stippled background made them easier to blend when I used my markers to color them in.  Makes for a very festive fall envelope.  You can add bits of glitter to the leaves for some sparkle if you wish, but I kind of like them plain.

Hope you have enjoyed seeing my stippling efforts.  Add some color to your day...

Stippling

Good morning!

Recently on one of the Yahoo Groups I belong to, someone mentioned stippling.  I had forgotten about that technique, and I love the look of it, And it just so happened that I had embossed a piece of white cardstock with a cuttlebug embossing folder that had gotten a smudge on it.  Not one to throw away a perfectly good piece of cardstock, I decided to stipple it to cover the smudge.

Here are the results:


After it was stippled, I used permanent markers to color in the raised parts.  I think it turned out very nicely, and I will be able to use it as a background for a card.  That's better than throwing it away because it had a small blue smudge on it.

In the next post I'll share some stippled envelopes.

Add some color to your world today...
