Slide Mailer with Club Scrap's Bistro Kit colors



I have been wanting to try to make a slide mailer, I bought some slides and mailers awhile ago and just didn't know what I wanted to do with them. So, I got them out and tried to cover the mailer with paper from Club Scrap's Bistro kit, but it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. So, I went to the craft store and bought some paints that matched the colors in the kit. Painted the mailer very carefully since I wanted it to look professional. I had to paint and repaint the sides many times, but in the end, it turned out so cute. I used the stamps from the kit and did some beading, topped it off with a flower and a black crystal and that was it. For the slides, I used Oregano Adirondack Alcohol ink on the back, and stamped the trees with one of the stamps from the kit and Stazon Jet Black ink pad and then used silver embossing powder around the edges. I really couldn't think of more to do to it and thought anything else would take away from the cuteness of it. I LOVE the stamps from the Bistro kit. They are like sketches and are absolutely the cutest when stamped on whatever craft you are doing. Please feel free to comment on it and let me know if there is anything more you would have done to it. I love feedback like that.
