Happy Mother's Day
Work day for me, but hope you mother's are having a lovely day. Always a little sad with my mom & grandmas gone, but happy memories of those loving women that made a difference in my life. I'll get kisses from puppy Fritz when I get home--he's a sweetie!
I don't usually decorate envelopes, but didn't want to miss the PTI MIM envelope wrap challenge. I pulled out the card I made for the watercolor splotches challenge & made a very simple wrap with room to write the recipient's name. The Distress Inks are what I used for the card: faded jeans, broken china, salty ocean & peacock feathers. Stamps are PTI Snowflake Flurries. I splattered the envelope with the same inks mixed with some water. Dots of Stickles add a touch of sparkle, just like on the card. Fun idea--might make some more for cards I hand carry. Thanks for taking time to visit my blog.
