Contestant #1

"I used different scrapbook papers. I cut certain pieces of paper out for embellishments and layered that on top of the scrapbook paper I used to wrap the envelope. My goal was to make something that would mail without falling apart...lol. So, scissors, a steady hand, scrapbook paper, and double sided tape."

"Embossed paper, an envelope, chalk, brads and a hook, swirly paper clips, ribbon, and liquid glass.
Cut paper and formed to the envelope and shaded with chalk, glassed the mermaid and all of the bubbles, pierced with the brads and hooks and strung ribbon through to tie the envelope closed."

Contestant #3

"I used a white 5x7 envelope, painted it w/ grey acrylic paint, made white lines with a unibal opaque white pen, the dragon is a paper piecing I made for a scrapbook layout, I scanned it and printed it onto sticker paper smaller than actual size, windows are hand cut cardstock, there is stippling with ink. (all ink is Stazon so it could be mailable) The scroll fence, scroll corners around postage, dragon stamp and foliage images are Becky Chabot Flourishes stamp sheet by heartsintouch.com, there is a punch of gold foil paper dragon, the shield was a clip art printed onto sticker paper. The way the flap opens is shown; the window hangs over the edge a bit, I even put a real USA postage w/ oriental image on it., there is another window behind the large dragon on the front of the envie."
