Q is for Quilled Heart

The watercolor calendar envelopes work well with other stamps, too. Here is the Quilled Heart stamp on envelope 778 (and the 2015 non-machinable butterfly on 779).

Quilling is the art of using scrolled paper to make 3D artistic compositions. Wikipedia has some info, but better is to google  'quilling' to look for images, many of which are stunning.

The Quilled Heart stamp is the 2016 entry into the USPS Love series. Digital images of this stamp do seem more vibrant and show more detail than the actual stamp, although it has grown on me.

Mail Monday II - Chewy Tulip Finale

Cara G also runs the Anthropomorphic Mail Art Project where she sends you one of several images (mostly animals) and you send it back with something added - more art, quotes, etc. More on what I sent back in a future post. Along with receiving my card to send back in this edition of Mail Monday, Cara sent me this postcard and magnet as well - bonus! The envelope everything arrived in has a fun seal.
