TCP Tuesday #355: Envie Envy

It’s the start of a brand new monthly challenge over on the The Cat’s Pajamas blog!  Have you ever played along?  If not, you certainly should because there is a prize up for grabs each month!

In March, we’re decorating envelopes to go along with our cards!  I have to admit, up until now, I really haven’t been much of an envelope decorating kind of gal, but this was fun!  Like my cards, I still used a clean & simple style to liven up the envelope!

For the card and envelope, I used the Family Forever set!  The animals in this set are simply adorable!  The main image on the card was paper pieced with a variety of decorative papers from my stash after being stamped with black ink.  The sentiment was stamped in black using the Nightie alphabet set.  I perched the bear on the R just for fun!

The baby ducks on the envelope were stamped in black ink and colored with Copic markers.  I made sure I put a scrap piece of paper behind the portion of the envelope I was coloring to keep the marker colors from bleeding through to the back of the envelope.

We’d love to have you join us in our envelope decorating madness!  It’s actually a great idea for making someone smile before they even open the envelope!

See you there!
