Transport It

 

 

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  LET'S PAINT  Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

Many thanks to Thom for sharing is wonderful creations with us this month. Definitely looking forward to more, Thom! 

This week the challenge is: TRANSPORT IT

I am taking a different approach to transport. I am thinking of all the cards I make that get transported through the mail, so to represent that, I've created an altered envelope. A very special card could fit inside, or it is sturdy enough to hold chipboard or embellishments. 

I began by deconstructing the envelope. Then, I sued this as a template to cut out my patterned paper. 

Once I taped the paper in place, I scored the envelope again.  

THEN, I messed up big time! I attached my second sheet of patterned paper onto the other patterned paper, not on the envelope where it was supposed to go. Needless to say, trying to pull it back off, I ripped a lot of the pretty paper. So, to try to fix it, I smooshed some ink over the biggest parts.

A bit of collage for the front... 

...and a bit for the back... 

Detail... 

I stamped "Just for you" and added a heart and "stamp" to the front. 

Just for You envelope, ready to be filled with something special and transported to you!
