This week I created on handmade paper envelopes I had picked up at The Dollar Store and since they were only $1 I picked up quite a few packs and they have been sitting on a shelf in my craft room for months so I dusted them off to use
them for Sea Birds
I cut out the rocks with some Fiskers craft scissors and used a sponge to paint it with Ranger Archival Ink in Sepia. I then used another pair of Fiskers craft scissors to cut out the sea and used a sponge and Ranger Archival Ink in Manganese Blue to ink my sea. I inked the sky with a sponge and Tim Holtz Distress Ink in broken china and then I added my sea cliff, sea water, and some sea birds (from a book I have on birds that I got at one of the libraries book sales) to put it all together! I left the back of the envelope blank so that I could add something to it later if I wanted to send this beauty along in one of the swaps I'm participating in!
See ya all - Amy
