Inspired by this fabulous project: http://sewpaperpaint.blogspot.com/20...ella-card.html
...as well as my love of dip pens and fountain pens, I went crazy making watercolor envelopes and flat stationery cards in portrait and landscape format. This was entirely too much fun - I sat in my craft room for 2 hours straight (FYI: wine works a bit better than pain killers-JK)!
I'm going to send this envelope and stationery set to Brian at Goulet Pens, since I'm grateful for all the video trainings he publishes for all the fountain pen fans around the world!
If you'd like a simple tutorial on watercolor envelopes, check out this fun tutorial on YouTube:
I hope you will join the challenge this week and explore our inspiration site too. I bet you'll have almost as much fun as I did!! LOL
Hugs,
Audrie

I just played with my distress oxides today too. Oh I am enjoying them. Thanks for the super challenge so I could play with my oxides. Great card with your oxides. Love your inspiration and love how your card and envelope turned out.

Just beautiful. I still haven't figured out how to get results with water colour stamping. Mine result in big blobs. Thanks for sharing the link to the tutorial. Hope you are getting better very day.

Love how you did these pen nibs, Audrie - who would've thunk they could be artsy? But seeing them in these colors and how you put them together made me stop and really look - wow!
