The rest of the April exchange envelopes

Pretty envelope received from Smash.

This is the other side of the double-sided, double-stamped envelope Jean sent. Two of the love stamps made it through unmarked. Clever use of the same colors from the stamps.

Dots from Amy, with a fantastic stamp featuring the extinct Eohippus.

Sunday Stamps - Flowers

USPS issued a set of 10 stamps earlier this year based on illustrations from gardening catalogs originally used between 1891 and 1910. 

Here are some sent out on envelopes 789, 791, 796 & 809.

I showed a few more of these stamps in a previous post.

And here are two that I received in Jean's April exchange.

Pretty flowers from Amy.

Watercolor and calligraphy from Thomas.

And Thomas included this neat wax seal that traveled perfectly (amazingly) through the mail.

To see more flowers, head over to Sunday Stamps.

Final Eduardo envelope

This is the last one... a mysterious 13th envelope.

I decided to use this idea for the April envelope exchange, too.

This style was inspired by this amazing calligraphic Jabberwocky poem.  Of course, mine was done on the computer.
