Works in progress with a lighter touch

The finished one is simply the envelope for the card that I'm working on. Yes, you've seen this subject before but I've been going on with it until I feel like I've done a really good job on them. I thought that the paint application on the framed painting was a bit heavy handed so I wanted to try something less complicated. Yes, making cards is still my favorite thing to do and I'm pleased to report that a lot of people that get them go ahead and frame them. It's fun to see the transition from snail mail to wall art.
