Water Colour Flowers to Ivana

This is the card I painted to Ivana

and sent to her in this envelope.

I like the Juhani Aho (Finnish author and journalist) postage sheet which was issued last year for his 150th anniversary.

Bouquet of Flowers to Gillian

I got a beautiful bouquet of spring flowers from my daughter and her boyfriend and used that as an inspiration to paint this card to Gillian.

Butterfly masking tape and stamps.

"Seed-pods and plants" by Gillian

This lovely card arrived from Gillian.

She has made it of her original painting as big as A3 size.

I love both the colours and the figures!

Stamps placed beautifully.

She also attached an ATC made by herself.

- Making ATCs is something that I probably would like to do. Does anyone have good hints of how to start this hobby?

Small Wonders of Nature

I took this picture of a snail (an empty home after winter) and attended with it the photo competition by theme Small Wonders of Nature in Pienilintu blog.

If you like, you can vote for it here http://pienilintu.blogspot.com/2012/05/luonnon-pienet-ihmeet.html, it is picture number 1.

Leonardo da Vinci

This beautiful Leonardo da Vinci card arrived yesterday from Ivana. 

Where might it have been travelling because she had sent it already almost a month ago and normally cards from Czech arrive in a couple of days!

Bottle Letter

This charming letter arrived from PostMuse. The envelope is transparent and the bottle and text labels are glued on it. Very beautiful! 

Open French Tulip to Peggy

The French tulip I bought and painted to Patty opened this beautifully after a couple of days so I could make a totally different painting to Peggy of the same flower.

I used Patty's paper tapes also to this envelope.
