Vintage Shabby Chic Style

Vintage style decorated envelope
 
This is made out of a large envelope. I used a pretty shop bought floral paper to decorate the envelope and the image on the front is from the Gecko Galz Etsy store

 For the front of the envelope I used one sheet of the same design and cut it so when the cover is closed the pattern matches. The frame around the image is from Tim Holtz. I used an image of a frame from My Porch Prints and I added the word 'dream' to that, then I added a small section of cheesecloth and a paper butterfly.

On the inside section on the right hand side I added a fold out flap and then added a pocket onto that and for the middle section I also added a pocket. Then for the middle section at the top I added a flap that flips upwards and I added a pocket to that

On the middle section on the flap I made an oblong embellishment decorated with patterned paper, cheesecloth and a butterfly

On  the flap at the bottom right I used a pretty postcard. To finish off the look I added lace, cheesecloth and small paper butterfly

All of the tags are cut out of kraft card for the base. I decorated all of the tags with collage of different scraps of patterned paper. On some of the tags I added small images, lace, cheesecloth and small paper butterflies, I also added a word to each tag. To finish I added a crochet trim for the top of each tag and tied them with string

On the back of the envelope I added a large pocket that it can be used for extra storage
