Mail art - Mixed media envelope


Hi peeps..
hope you are as excited for valentine day as i am!!

Hearing a lot mixd media from me recently? yeh you can say i am a new mixed media artist in the making, again thanks to u all out there for the amazing inspiration.

I transformed this envelope from an old greeting card. Stuck some bits of paper from magazine. Stuck some lace(from my daughters old dress ;)). Gave it a wash of glitter color. And used my new  modelling paste with stencil for the blooms..love the effect!! :)


Wrote this letter t my daughter when she was around 1 year old. 

Made this for the current challenge at Lessology - Happy mail day
