(Pen-Pal) Letter Art

Hello! I’m glad to be back posing again. It’s already been a week since the BUJO Series I did! Wow, this past week’s gone fast!

Well, today I’m back again with something similar to that. I’ve been catching up on a lot of letters to my friends lately, and I was using a few themes when making my cards. I only took a few pictures of each card while I was making them, but I thought I’d share, anyway!

For the first card I chose the cute little saying/quote “Advice from a Sunflower” (In full below)

I just lightly sketched in the words.

Then, I used my fudenosuke hard tip over the words.

Then I took my little kneaded eraser (that looks somewhat like an astroid😂) and went all over the words to get rid of the pencil.

Then I had to choose my colors for the sunflower. I didn’t want it to be too dark or two light, so I tested out all the ones in between.

I chose two medium colored yellow/orange. (I always love trying to decide colors!)

Then I started sketching out the sunflower. I did the darker petals in front, then the lighter ones in back.

Then I had to choose a brown color. I tested a lot of different colors, and again ended up with a lighter and a darker color.

I colored the center with the light brown color. I could’ve left it like this, but I felt like it needed something else.

I just did a lot of messy dots inside that circle. It was what it was missing!

I chose not to outline anything with a black pen so the words were more visible. It ended up looking pretty cute!

Then I went to make the envelope. It’s fun making a theme between the card and envelope! I went to find the middle…

(Also, sorry for the odd lighting!)

Then I got a jar out and put it in the center of the paper, but off-center of the middle. (To the left of the center. Does that make even a hair of sense?🤣) Then I traced around it.

 

Then I sketched out the petals. Make sure the circle (the center of the flower) is wide enough to put an address.

Then fill it in with a Micron (or other black pen) and color. This sunflower is a lot more basic, with a little bit of an animated look.

Then I chose the colors of wax beads I was going to use.

There we go! Aren’t they cute? I love sunflowers.

Then I made another one! I used Proverbs 16:24 for the next card. I used a honey comb as the characters in this one.

Then I made the envelope similar to the card.

They both turned out pretty cute! I cut out a little foam cat and then colored it in and added blush. That makes everything better, right?😄

Then here came another one! I really liked how this one came out!

(Sorry this is so blurry! I only got one picture☹️) I really like how this one looked!

Then I went to make the matching envelope again.

I added some sketchy lines where I was going to put the address, and I did the same kind of flowers on the card.

(Again, Blurry!) I did the same for the return address.

And that’s it! I hope you enjoyed!

Have a great day!
