I just got stung! By a stinging critter in the house! So I'm putting ice on my ankle as I type. Don't worry, I'm not allergic.
I don't know why I called this card French Connection, except that there is French script on the dp. I used a mini envelope template for my focal point and filled it with all sorts of birds, buttons, and ribbon. The punched circle is from the dp, has no particular meaning. I used a border punch at the top instead of ribbon or cord, since I had already used ribbon on the envelope. This was a really nice sketch, I'll use it again.

Another darling card! I have those bird stamps...they're so versatile! What a fun idea to use a tiny envelope on this sketch..you could almost use this for a holiday card...just take out the bird and put something Christmasy. Oh and I like the fancy border at the top.

I'm cringing in sympathy about your sting...yikes! This is a beautiful combination of elements, I especially like your envelope, I love them on the front of cards!
Like the envelope with the various items spilling out. Lots going on but still very eye appealing.
