{DAD}

What a crazy week I had... actually I should had posted this one on Friday but suddenly we are on Sunday!
This is my inspirational creation for 2 Cute Rubber Stamps, it´s an envelope I decorated using this cute owl named Best of friends owl (and you can find it here!).

I colored the cutie with colored pencils and blended them with gamsol, cut carefully around it and placed it on the envelope with foam tape.
The layout is very simple: I cut a piece of patterned paper and rounded its corner, faux stitched it with a fine marker, added a scrap of paper I distressed with chalks and put two buttons tied with raffia.

To finish the envelope I cut a cloud (you can find it here) that I glittered and glued three pieces of red embroidery floss with different lengths on the back from one end. On the other end of the floss I glued three punched hearts where I spelled DAD with white gel pen, and to make it all shiny I painted the tiny hearts with decoupage glue.
I have a bunch of these envelopes and I love to decorate them, they can be used for so many things (letter, money, cards, small gifts, gift card... etc...) and they are available in several colors and sizes too!
Also I wanted to remind you we have a challenge running at 2 Cute until October the 31st, there is a cute free image to play with! hope you can join us, there is a great prize too!
