Do you stamp your envelopes?

Stamps from the Coffee Tea Full Sheet
Do you stamp your envelopes?  I recently made a huge stack of 
invitations for a bridal shower, and added these images to the front 
and the back of each envelope.  (Did you guess it's a tea party 
theme??)  The images are stamped in Distress Inks--
Barn Door and Broken China.
      
  Have a great Sunday!

Tea Party Cat--playing with Perfect Pearls

Party Cat!!  He doesn't look too thrilled to be flecked with shiny
spots of Perfect Pearl Mist in Gumball Pink, but I think he looks
quite festive.

Here's the thing--I've been playing with Perfect Pearls, and they add
a gorgeous shine, but you know how it is trying to photograph shimmer.
(It's difficult.)
a shiny coat of Perfect Pearls in, well, Perfect Pearl!
stamp is from the Coffee Tea Full Sheet
  Here's one more Party Cat , this one with lots of Perfect Pearl Mist Forever Violet:
Trust me, he is shiny!!! 
Have a great Sunday!
