This is one of my envelope submissions for the gg designs May/10 Envelope challenge.

I used a standard legal sized business envelope. Smeared a silicon mat with some Distress stamp pads (Peeled Paint, Broken China & Aged Mahogany), misted with water and rubbed my pen stamps (gg design) into it, removed the wetness from the nib section and inked that with Versafine Black Onyx, then stamped the right side of my envelope and clear embossed the nibs. Inked up my stamps again but directly to the stamp with the same 3 colors and over stamped them.

Used a Spellbinder's Labels Seven die as a stencil and sponged some Vintage Photo and some of whatever color was on my sponge... and the Peeled Paint on the rest of the envelope. Wrote in the name and address with a Zig Writer. Continued inking and stamping with the pens. Stamped the quote (Quietfire Design) with the black and clear embossed it. I used a stamp positioner to get the quote all on one line rather than the two it is, as a rubber stamp. As a final touch I stamped the sequin waste with the green. Added my stamps and protected the envelope with a coat of Dorlands wax and then buffing it.
