Seriously, when I saw this challenge, how could I NOT enter?
Decorate the envelope? But of course. Often I just use a narrow piece of matching paper, but for this challenge I thought I'd make sure to do something slightly more elaborate. Since I always make sure to keep the envelope safe for mail delivery if needed, I tend to only decorate the left-hand side. Besides stamping & colouring the little dog, I drew some grass for her to sit on.

Supplies: Papers from We R Memory Keepers "Autumn Splendor;"
buttons from Basic Grey & stash;
Puppy & sentiment from Inkadinkado;
Memento Tuxedo Black ink;
Martha Stewart markers & fine line pen;
burlap recycled from a package of soap! |
Now, don't ask me why I didn't just photograph the envelope head-on. I can't answer that.
The kraft circle is popped up on foam tape, and the buttons are sewn on with embroidery thread, and the puppy's eye is paper-pieced.
Since three entries are permitted for this challenge, expect to see two more coming up this week!

Definitely a challenge just for you! Who wouldn't be so excited to see that doggy on the envelope, just teasing about the awesome card that is enclosed?! Maybe I should try this challenge, too!
Lurve it! How can you resist that puppy? And the matching envelope is YOUR thing, lol! I love how you used the recycled burlap. I find myself doing the same thing - "hey, save that, I can use that for my cards!" Hope you're having a great week!
