envelopes
I cant tell you where to buy Purple envelopes but I can tell you how to make them. Put Shave cream in a shallow pan and put food coloring on it as well. Mix it up (mix it well if you want solid color, dont if you want swirls) Lay the paper on top and press a little. lay flat to dry. This has a neat texture when dry.

I am not sure of the reason for the shave cream... I found this in a book and tryed it with the kids I work with. The Shave cream gives the paper a neat texture/ feeling.

Damn...couldn't upload the file type and my lpong message disappeared! Grrrrrgh!
Anyways...here we go again...condensed version!
Attached is a piccie of two envelope I bought for you...sizes shown A5 and C6 and cost 80 cents each (70 cents if you buy 100 or more). For 75 envelopes, with the good exchange rate at the mo that would cost about 20 squid. Which sounds cheap to me (but everything here is cheap compared to HK!), but tell me if I'm being ripped off.
Let me know via email/pm/msn if you want me to get some/try another size etc...

Oooh they look very lilacy. Nothing wrong with that cos I like lilac, but they're quite a bit a darker purple in the flesh! Almost a MGW purple in fact!
