Messy mail art (tutorial)


Messy-mail-art

Recently I've been getting a few of these large bubble pack envelopes (*ahem online shopping) so I thought I should make some messy mail art, fill the envelopes with some goodies and send them out to make some people happy. :)


I started with this standard bubble pack envelope which I covered with some white gesso to prep it for wet media.


Next I went in with acrylic paints and mists with stencils. 


 I also did some stamping.



Here is a progress shot of the front....


And the back...


I wanted to add some fun text so I stamped on tissue paper. There are a few reasons why I did this. One: I'm a terrible stamper (see photo for evidence...*LOL*). Two: The uneven surface of the bubble pack envelope makes it hard to stamp evenly. Three: I can "audition" the text before commitment to paper. *winks*


I also added washi tape to create a fun border.

Now to fill it with some goodies and mail it out!
