To Ilona and Soda


This letter I sent to Ilona. I used the beautiful big stamp got from her to decorate the note papers.
The stamp was a part of the Very Special Giveaway in June from Ilona which I was happy to win http://www.missivemaven.com/2010/06/very-special-giveaway-rubber-stamps-and.html.


For the envelope I used some of my butterfly stamps and one of the leave stamps which also was a part of the giveaway, and then I dropped some water colour over the stampings.
Because the envelope had a bubble wrap inside it, the surface for stamping was very soft, and the borders of the leaf stamp became visible also. That's kind of a failure, but it made the leaf look like it was flattering!



This is the card I made for Soda by water colour. I hope she recognized herself in it when Ilona gave it to her! :-)

    Hello Sirpa,

    I've thought many times I'd like to send mail to you, but, alas, I don't have your mailing address. If you'd like to correspond, please email me your address at stardust4821@yahoo.com

    Thanks. Patty

    This was absolutely one of the loveliest letters I've ever received!! I think the watercolor Soda needs to be framed.

    That is absolutely beautiful in form and in gesture. What a treat to get something like that in the mail.
