Challenge 55 - Mail Art

Have you ever received a card or a letter through the post where one of your friends has taken the trouble to decorate the envelope?  I had two recently and because the one I got from Oz is such a lovely work of art I had to keep it.

Somerset Studios used to feature "Mail Art" at the front of their mag each time it was published, not sure if they still do it as I don't buy the mag these days.  It was really good to see the different ways people used to decorate them - so you could stamp on them or cut pictures out and decorate them that way, a kind of collage.  Maybe you can think of another way?

Go on, brighten someone's day and make them a card and decorate the envelope - I know it makes me smile when one pops through my letterbox.

Check what the DT have to say and play along with us - make someone's day a happy one with a decorated envelope plopping through their door.
