Hi folks, yes It's in the Mail' and that's the challenge this fortnight over at Try it on Tuesday, where you will see we have some new Design Team members, so please pop over and and say 'hello'
I decided to make my little envelope and used papers from the Madam Payraud collection, which of course had to have a little distressing with Frayed Burlap. My envelope started out as a strip of black card 29.5 x 8 cm. I scored 5.5cm in from one side, cut the sides to make a flap, and then at 11.5cm in from the other edge. Used a Nesti circle to cut a 1/2 circle, before gluing the sides.
I made a little' address label' with some little element stamps from Crafty Individuals
And all tied up with some dyed string.
