Very pretty Stacy!!

I have an old DCWV floral paper pack that has lovely paper, but I just can’t seem to work it into my scrapbooking much right now.  I think making some envelopes would be a great idea for this!  Or perhaps make a postcard and integrate it into a scrapbook page?

Here is mine, I don't do stamping too often, so sorry about all the mess! Plus I used gelatos which I used too much water and it got a lot of crinkles in it. Lessons learned!! lol

Very hard to get a decent photo on this dreary day, but here's mine. I always mail them so I made this to match a card I made yesterday and left space for the addresses and stamp


and here's the other side:

Here's mine! I started with stencils and ink, and then I stamped. I love the bright colors and stencils rainbow element - April showers also bring rainbows!

I know I am only allowed one entry, but I tried making my own envelope, which is the green one.  The first one I used distress ink spray, gesso for the address visibility, stamps, watercolor pencils and water to blend a little.

It would have been even better if I had the lettering in the right direction on the paper I used! Haha

Beautiful envelope! Love the textures!

I suppose any florals would be "springy" and I wanted to try this with a kraft envelope. Simple, inked the envelope with cracked pistachio distress ink, the flower was a stamp that I cut and watercolored, then used multi-media mat to cover it. The other stamps were from a Momenta set. Combined with the Bi-Monthly prompt challenge.
