Hello!

I don't know about you guys, but for me, it's so much more exciting to find a beautifully decorated envelope come through the letter box than a plain white one!

For this swap, the main focus is on the envelope and you will be sending to one partner. You will need to include a note card or small letter inside with your username and the name of the swap, but nothing else is required. Obviously, if you want to send your partner a little something small then that is entirely up to you!

Please send at least a C6 envelope (114mmx162mm)

You can use any medium you like, pens/paints/collage etc. Stickers are fine as long as they are not the only thing on there. No one likes stickerslapping, but if they're part of a mixed media piece I see no problem with one or two! Get creative, try new things and make your mail a piece of art.

So to sum it up:

*No recent 1's or 3's.

*At least a c6 envelope

*No sticker slapping, but one or two is okay

*Newbies welcome with a well filled out profile

*All that needs to be included inside the envelope is a notecard or letter with your username and the name of the swap, any more is senders choice.

If you receive a hand decorated envelope, please rate a 5 even if it's not to your artistic tastes.

I will angel if necessary, I absolutely love decorated envies so it will be my pleasure!

Any questions please feel free to message me.

Would sketching on the envelope in pencil or plain black pen count, or would it be a let-down? A nice drawing, more than a quick scribble of course! I'd really enjoy this but I'm pretty sure I couldn't get away with collaging or anything like that... but I'm hoping the people in the post office here in Mexico City would be OK with just drawing on the envelope. I'll also check what they say at the local branch!

HelloWheeze: Hello! I think that drawing would be okay :) Maybe you could also add some colour with paint or coloured pens/pencils? I think the main thing is that you make an effort to make a beautiful envelope for your partner :) I received a lovely example of an envelope which just used paint and coloured pens and pencils, which I can show you if you'd like?
