Front of the envelope I made for the Decorated envelope swap at swapbot for my partner (I removed her address in photoshop)
Too bad the glitters don't come across that well on photo. (it had a frosty glistering look)
Description of the swap:
What is a decorated envelope you ask?? Good question!! For the purposes of this swap here are the guidelines. Any size envelope. Decorate the outside back and at least a portion of the front with the theme of winter, snowmen or snow. How to decorate?? You may paint, draw, stamp, glue on pictures you have cut out, embellish, etc. You can use stickers IF they are incorporated into a bigger idea. (Please no envies with just a few stickers stuck on) To give you an idea what I mean you could use stickers incorporated into a drawing or even just stickers if they make a scene. But the idea here is to make an envelope that the postman takes a second look at. Something really nice and rather elaborate. Please remember if you do something to your envelope that will make it get torn up in the canceling machine, you need to add extra postage and write HAND CANCEL on the front. The cost is an extra 20 cents in the US even if you are mailing to another country.
Inside the envelope put in any of the following: a card(handmade or store bought), a poem with a winter theme, related epherema, a recipe that will warm your partner up, anything theme related. Something that will bring a smile to your partner's face and warm fuzzy to her heart
