Marie (aka Ozstuff) has chosen MAIL ART for her theme this Wednesday at the Three Muses and as I have been wanting to try to make a mail art envelope for a while I thought I would take this opportunity, and so here is my interpretation on the theme.
I painted a background digitally and then layered this with a texture by Paree Erica. I made stamps from some of my previous work (already credited appropriately on my blog), added airmail markings to the edges of the envelope and a mail stamp or two. Finally I made the buildings myself and added the lovely fantasy bird created by Terri Kahrs. The handwriting font is Mayfield.
Thank you for looking.

Your altered envie is superb, Ann!!! Your Mona stamp is sooooo awesome. Wouldn't it be lovely if the post office actually made stamps with a sense of creativity and humor?!? Thanks, too, for giving my little birdie a wonderful setting. I can just imagine a lucky recipient finding this in a mailbox! Hugs, Teri xoxo
Wow! Your envelope is amazing, Ann. The three stamps are little works of art in themselves. I can tell you had fun with this form of mail art as did I. Fantastic. Take a bow.
Ann your envelope is stunning.
Brilliant design on it. Fantastic work.
Look at Mona - with gum!! Ann, you have a wicked sense of humour!!
wonderful - esp. love the little bird and of course mona with her bubble gum!!
These are all so cool. What a great challenge. The depth that your floor gives is such a great idea - we're falling into the envelope to find all the goodies inside!
