Cute little bones III - envelopes



And my third little project with cute little bones (and pictures from graphics fairy... I didn't search for pictures, I saw the pictures she put on her blog and had to do something with them! So that's why there are this three small and easy projects :) ).

This are all the envelopes I prepared to work with later... I just print the desired pictures out and fold them into envelopes. I use the space beside or under or above the picture for the adress label and the stamp.

You could just set a frame or a speech bubble next to this one...


This one could get the adress as the "species label". ^^


This skelett shows on the recipients adress... It would look cool just like this! Or a frame could be added...


Also smaller versions of a picture are nice. This one just says loud: Give me a speech bubble! ^^


One way to create backgrounds for labels, speech bubbles and / or frames is just paint with artistic water colours on paper. You can see that I am still in love with my shades of brown...


The three upper colours on the left side. Aren't they beautiful just standing alone?


I cut out some shapes freehand (no, they are not perfect ^^) and glued them on black cardboard and cut them out again so they get a little black frame around the corner. You could also just paint a black boarder with a laquer pen.

The little "nails" are dots made with a silver laquer pen.


And put together with a skeletal one...


And then use all the artistic water colours again... I used my three shades of brown and gold. The black paint is an old waterproof mascara ^^ The brush is perfect, nearly empty of paint and after drying resistant against water!


See the gold shimmer...?


Looks a little bit bloody... ^^ not intended but I like it!


Again the finished one :)
