I've been looking at sketches a lot lately as they can be really inspiring when we are looking for card making ideas - this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches caught my eye this morning and I knew exactly what I wanted to make with it!
The sketch is great because it's clean, quick and uses up some of those special papers we have on our desk that we just don't want to get rid of - in my case I had some Dandy Garden Designer Series Papers sitting out from a previous project and I really wanted to make something more. I even fussy cut the dragonfly from the paper sheet I had after cutting off three 1/2" strips for the front. I added a final strip to the envelope front.
I love how this card turned out - the greeting on the front is from Ornate Thanks Stamp set and I think I'll wait until I use the card to decide what I will add to the inside. It can be for a birthday, thank you or any other occasion . . . . I stamped the greeting on a 1/2" strip of Basic White, then flagged one end. This is a good trick if you want to be sure to have your greeting straight on the card and are a bit wary of stamping directly onto the card front.
