I decided to sort out my stamp drawers today and see what exactly I had.
we have been having a Mail Art envelope swap with members from around the globe
It's a brilliant site as well as a really active forum and it has really got me back into
crafting again. I made five envelopes so sent them all off yesterday. You only needed to make
one but I got carried away!
Sorry - I digress. Whilst sorting out my stamps I came across some I hadn't used before.
The little girls were second hand in a job lot I bought so long ago - I had to ink it up to see
what it was - then having done so decided to make an envelope with some tea dyed paper
I had sitting in a roll on the corner of my desk waiting to inspire me.
The middle of the above is left blank for the address.
On the reverse I used another second hand set of stamps - cling ones this time.
I water coloured the tea stained paper with blue and used water colour crayons for the girls.
This one I am going to hold on to for a little while and enjoy it on my notice board in my studio

Hi Lovely Lottie,
WOW the two sides of your Mail Art envelopes are GORGEOUS - how lovely to find such great goodies in a job lot of stamps. It looks as if you bought yourself a real bargain. The little girls stamp is adorable and the postal stamps are just the sort of stamps I'd love too.
Lots of love and warmest best wishes,
Su
