So the challenge was to create "mailable art" and well... I guess I totally failed on following the rules... as sometimes happens! My card took a different direction. I used the Easter Tree on my card. I guess I'm in the Easter mood lately. I created a slide envelope and decorated it using just paper and some pretty ribbon. 

I stamped the image on Neenah Classic Crest Natural White and cut it out with the NEW Spellbinder's Labels 29. I airbrushed with R01 while the label was still in the die, maintaining the white clean edge. I hand cut the pink layer.

I added Somebunny loves You on the inside, stamped with Versafine Sepia Brown.

I used the edge of a Labels 29 Die to cut the top edge of the Envelope. It's not really mailable... maybe better to put it in a gift bag or easter basket!
