No-Line Watercolor Floral Mail Art + GIVEAWAYS & Altenew Anniversary

Hello, all! Today's post is part of a blog hop celebrating Altenew's 6th Anniversary! Be sure to check out the blog hop and GIVEAWAY info below today's project.

Speaking of today's project, I created a mail art envelope using the Fabulous Florets stamps and two watercolor pan sets from Altenew.

(Wondering what I used in this video? Everything is linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this post, or in the text below. Compensated affiliate links used when possible).

I started out by creating a watercolor paper envelope using the 1-2-3 Punch Board (see this video for why I recommend this punch board over the Envelope Punch Board). Then I stamped images from the Fabulous Florets stamp set in Antique Linen Distress Ink . This lighter colored ink is perfect to the no-line watercoloring technique.

For watercoloring the envelope, I used Altenew's Artist Watercolor 24 pan set , as well as adding gold accents and splatters using the Metallic Watercolor pan set .

The area for the address was created by painting dark navy stripes and then using the gold metallic paint to write Tami's address.

NOTE: Address used with permission. Thanks, Tami! To submit your address for use on future mail art envelopes, please fill out this form . There is a new form each month to keep addresses current.

I added postage stamps to the envelope, adhered the bottom flap up to form the envelope, and then coated the envelope with Distress Micro Glaze (which will protect it from moisture).
