Hello, my name is Marilou and I'm glad to be here sharing my process with you. First I designed a watercolour botanical on toned grey heavy card large enough for a Penpal Holder 2 by Sharmane in her Youtube Channel.

I carefully plotted all the lines and cuts as detailed in her tutorial. Next I gathered collage elements I currently own and designed little bundles for each section.

In the foreground is my collection of BESPOKE POSTAGE STAMP DIGITAL DOWNLOAD available through my Instagram feed @mariloucadizmarshall

Direct message me and I will send you details! Lots of amazing goodies filled each of the pockets along with ephemera, tags, book pages, handmade card and so much more!

I decorated the cover with a Postage Stamp, cutouts and eyelet to keep it all together. It weighed 184 grams when I posted it at the post office. All in all I was really pleased with the way it all turned out! I hope my new penpal likes it too! If you would like to see more FOLLOW ME ON IG: @mariloucadizmarshall
