Wings and/or Wind in Blue and White

Image
Today I'm joining the Unstampabelles on their 100th challenge.  Their link is below: https://unstampabelleschallenges.blogspot.com/2020/05/the-100th-challenge-may-wings-and-wind.html I made a card inspired by Connie Stewart yesterday, and once I'd chosen what my 'wings' were going to be - the butterfly - I realised I could use the same layout for this card using blue and white.  The paper I chose for my rosette butterfly is variated, so there is a little extra interest in the colour blue. Hello cards are so useful at this time - I'm sending out quite a few as a way of keeping in touch - phone calls are better, but can take up quite a bit of the day:)

Envelope posy

I have another variation on the envelope exploding with flowers card - is that even a thing?  Anyway, here is my card - I have attempted Sam's (from Mixed up craft) envelope added to a card (picture to follow) but when I saw on Pinterest a card that simply used an envelope ON a card, well, I thought why not give this a try?  I did, and this is my result - a 5 x 7" card. My original envelope card is here: This card is an envelope BOX card and would require a box to post it or you have to deliver it by hand.  Of course it packs more of a punch, because it took 3 times as long to make!  But I think for the more everyday lovely card, the top one is worth trying!
