Step 5Final steps & Voila!
Here's what it ends up looking like, front and back.
To address it, you can do one of the following:
1) use a Sharpie pen, glitter pen, or the like on a blank portion of your image. (Just be sure to pick something water resistant and extremely visible)
2) glue or tape on a piece of white paper that's been cut into an interesting shape to serve as an address label
3) Use one of those sticky tags for same purpose
Add your return address and a stamp. Tape shut and send. And await the oohs and aahs from your correspondents who've gotten so used to e-mail only that they'll be wowed by receiving this work of art, uniquely made just for them, in the post.
Enjoy!

i would remind folks though, that the US postal service has requirements for envelopes and postcards, including maximums and minimums for length, width, and thickness. so for instance using thin paper, like thin magazine, bible, or phone book pages, generally doesn't make an envelope thick enough to avoid getting chewed up by the USPS machines. i generally only use magazine pages if i'm sending a letter or card that i know will give it a good, sturdy thickness and survive the machines. i once had an envelope returned by USPS because the corners weren't perfect right angles, so keep this in mind!
check this USPS link to be sure: http://www.usps.com/send/preparemailandpackages/measuringtips.htm
I currently live in México, and to date, my envelopes have travelled well internationally. cheers to up-cycling!
