Description:

1 partner, 1 handmade blank notecard using a paint scrape technique (and a blank envie, that may or may not be paint scraped)!

What is a paint scrape? Exactly what you suspect:

  • Lay out your cardstock
  • Squeeze several dots of paint at the top
  • Scrap it down the paper using an old credit card or squeegee
  • Let dry

You can see a tutorial here

Please embellish your notecard a bit with a sticker, words, or a little something so it's not completely blank but make the embellishment generic enough so your partner can easily use the card. The notecard should be mailable size so nothing smaller than 3-1/2-x-5 inches, as that is the smallest legal mailing size for an envelope in the US. The envie can also be handmade - plain or embellished, that is up to you.

Place your finished notecard & envie in another envie, write a little note to your partner about how this art adventure went, affix proper postage and mail it off!

This should mail for 1 first class stamp! Sender's choice for colors, this is all about the technique and having fun while making a mess!!

Fell asleep last night before marking that this was dropped in the box for a.m. pickup. Enjoy!
