Mail Art – Christmas Dragon Stamp

I have been decorating up my envelopes and packages that I send out with my nifty stamps from QKD. Today I used my Christmas Dragon, a flower from the retro circles set and some snowflakes that are not QKD. I will say that you can tell a difference on the ink distribution between the two different brands of stamps, and I really need to get the snowflakes that QKD has. But I borrowed these snowflakes from my husband who bought them for the kids to make wrapping paper.
I used a watermarking ink pad for the dragon on the front of the envie and Momento London Fog for the snowflakes and circle. On the back I used one of those $1.99 dye based stamps from my local craft store in green. I used my copics to color in the lights and the dragon’s mane.
It was a simple and inexpensive way to dress up an envelope. The best part is when the envie arrives at it’s destination the recipient will know right away that something fun is inside. This time of year, this is a great way to dress up your Yuletide mailings of all sorts. If your cards have a bit of Christmas magic on the outside, your card will be the first one they want to open.

I just used my Christmas Dragon stamp from QKD for the first time. I used London Fog ink and colored it with Copic markers. Really I didn’t choose the color London Fog just because it was going to Essex in the UK. Wondering what is inside this fun little package? Why the Queen Bee of course.
