Mixed Media Monday - Let's upcycle a cardboard envelope for happy mail

 

It's been a while...but for this project, I played with gesso, acrylic paints, gelatos, stencils and gold mist! *high fives all around*

I started with this cardboard envelope courtesy of Amazon Japan. And decided to do a mixed media happy mail package.

I covered the whole envelope with brown paper packaging (Sephora is overzealous with its brown paper packaging...*winks*), applied washi tape around the edges...and then just had fun with my art supples. :)

Added a mat for the recipient's name and addy...

....then adorned the "frame" with fussy-cut elements.

Might have gone overboard with the colours...but I had fun!

Happy week ahead friends!
