Cards in Envy - Challenge 1

Hi Everyone!  Today sees the start of a wonderful new Challenge Site and Design Team which I am so pleased to be a new member of.  Cards in Envy is a Challenge Blog dedicated to creating cards suitable for mailing in other words that fit in envelopes.

The rules are pretty simple ...

• Create a card that can be sent in a regular, postage paid envelope 
• You are free to use any images, stamps, cut outs, die cuts and embellishments that are no thicker than a penny 
• Please link back to your post and not your blog 
• Please no back linking 
• Please post a link on your blog to Cards in Envy 

The very first challenge is a Sketch Challenge using the following sketch:-

Here is my card using it!

Stamps:  Unity Stamp Co
Paper/Cardstock:  Basic Grey and Stampin' Up!
Ink:  Stampin' Up - Not Quite Navy
Other:  The Robin's Nest Pearl Dew Drops, Stampin' Up! Eyelet Border Punch, 
Scallop Circle Punch and 11/2 Inch Circle Punch

The Basic Grey Paper with the Rose Design was my starting point for this card, which then influenced my other choices, such as the Sympathy Card Sentiment, Fussy Cut Butterflies and Colors.

This is such a versatile sketch, so be sure to visit the Cards in Envy Blog and welcome the New DT and see all their wonderful creations for inspiration and I do hope you will join in all the fun and play along with us.
