Ahhhh, Envelopes!

This afternoon I was in need of an envelope.  Not just any envelope.  Not a plain white envelope!  I scrambled to beautify the one I needed, but then- later- had time to play a bit, and decorated six envelopes thus:

First I scraped turquoise blue acrylic  paint over the blank envelopes, using a plastic store card.
Next I added scrapes of gold, then splotches of red paint.
A new arrows rubber stamp set came to mind, and of course, gold embossing powder.
Ripping strips of hand made paper with similar colors, I collaged one across the top of each envelope.
And that, as they say, was that.
