Description:

Update: I have changed this to Type 3 - sorry, Type 2 was an error!

Find some darker colored papers, plain or with a design, make three envies, and decorate or augment with something that will show up on the paper - colored pencils, gel pens, paint, Posca markers, etc.

No size or style requirements for the envies except they should be at least the minimum USPS mailable size (3.5" x 5").

In summary: - Make 3 dark envies - Decorate them - draw, doodle, paint - Send!

Sender's choice - you can start now!

ETA: Here is cool tutorial I found. I don't expect this level of detail - but she did some beautiful work! This is the link to the not-great-quality image I added above.

Is collage on the envies OK?

Hi @coleenfranks - The point is to use those gel pens etc. that were made for drawing on black (or any surface like Posca markers). So if you do that and also add collage, that is fine.

Thanks for the clarification, Heather.
