Mixed Media Paper Happy Mail

For this swap we will be making small master boards. These are basically papers that have been painted, stamped, and doodled on. You can gelli print on them, use texture paste, collage....whatever. They are meant for cutting and making cards, ATCs, and smaller project. We will be making 5 of them for each of our partners. So, 10 in all. They need to be at least printer paper size. And they should be covered fully with different media. You can send them unfolded or you can fold them and send them in a 6x9 envelope. This is what I plan to do. Also, this is a Happy Mail swap...so the envelope that we mail should also be decorated all over front and back.

*2 Partners

*5 decorated pages to each

*Decorate with paints, stamps, collage, markers, color pencils, pastels, paint pens, texture paste, etc.

*Papers should be at least printer paper size (for your country). You can use card stock, printer paper, deli paper, etc. but make sure it is not so thin and weak it dissolves when wet like some tissue paper.

*Decorate the mailing envelope. You can decorate it the same way, or how ever you want, but please cover the front and back.

*Add a short note of the swap name and your user name.

I hope that these are clear instructions. It's really a simple swap;) Let loose and try different techniques. All the color and decoration choice is the senders. It's still good to look at your partners profile, but you can have this swap done before partners are posted because it's all senders choice.

There is a link on my profile where you can check out how I have painted some envelopes. I'll have a video of this swap up soon. The pic on this swap is just a small envelope I painted on.
