I’ve got that spellbinder script stamp.....didn’t remember it was spellbinders but use it all the time, I love it.

[@millana6292]

I heard your comments about form phobia, and I get it 100 percent. A lot of creative people, I feel, have a problem with this. I will do anything to avoid forms. I have a uni degree, however forms and business phone calls and many such things like this are painful for me. I can do them, but don’t want to. I dread them. I put off more time thinking about them, then the actual time I could do them in. It’s just a dread, there is no real way to explain the feeling, other then you want it all just to go away. I just wanted to let you know you are not alone in this. And to let you know, I get it. 🌞🌞🌞🌞

[@artymaze]

millana thank you, so true x

[@cynthiagraf3327]

Such a transformation! Love the whole project.

[@janecameron7498]

Fabulous envelopes. I feel more tea/coffee dying coming up. Great way to use up some of those hundreds of napkins I’ve been hoarding.Thanks.

Wow so beautiful Hugs Bonnie

[@dtkeen65]

Them are some berry pretty envelope, I'm going to start on mine now.

[@mayloo2137]

Will adding gesso 'stiffen' the envelopes to make them more sturdy? I use normal office envelopes and they don't seem to be sturdy enough to, for example, paint on them.

[@artymaze]

May Loo yes they will it’s a great base x

[@karensallows9348]

I will have to try your method of doing the envelopes, it looks like a lot of work, but worth it.

[@edithlyons5007]
