Simon Says Stamp and Show a Word...

For this week's challenge over at Simon Says Stamp and Show, the theme is "word" and I chose the word "Imagine".       I was going to make a card, but I wanted a bigger canvas to work with, so decided to do a bit of mail art!    My envelope measures 12"x 9".

I started by stamping the large foam stamp letters using white acrylic paint, then I used Dristressed ink over the top of the letters (the acrylic paint acts as a resist) I then used the label from TH Sizzix die (Hanging Sign) as a mask, and went over that with Distress inks (Vintage photo & tumbled glass)      I also stamped a couple of images from THIS Darkroom Door set, and used one of the gears from another TH Sizzix die (Gadget Gears) as a mask.    I stamped the flourish image from THIS TH set The "mail art" image is from THIS Darkroom Door set, just to make sure my postie doesn't get confused about what this is LOL.     Thanks for stopping by : )
