Our new theme at Try it on Tuesdays is 'Its in the Post'.
I decided to go down the Mail Art route, there are so many ways you could interpret this theme.
Also the gang at TioT's are welcoming Nikki, Chrissie and Margik, to the DT , it would be good if you could pop over and say hello.
So on the left is the front of my envelope.

I used the same stamps front and back, a selection including Stampers Anonymous. The birds were clear stamps, the packaging long since discarded as I store these all on clear acetate.
I used mainly Potting Soil and Fern Green Archival ink to stamp with. Using the same stamp twice in some places to give a shadowy effect.
Water colour to shade the birds.
Vintage Photo and Antique linen distress ink for the extra shading
All I have to do is make a card to go inside and get it posted.
