Card of the Month - "A Different Fold"

My yahoo group Art For The Creative Mind, held a Card of the Month swap called "A Different Fold" (think flowers). Below is my interpretation of the theme which is heading to my partner tomorrow.

I made the card and envelope using Far East Paper Pack and iridescent pink and green ribbon from Oriental Trading, and Cricut cut-outs created with the Pagoda cartridge. The card shape came from a free template I found on www.Stampington.com and the envelope is a winged it special by me. I also used a distress stamp pad and Smooch Accent Inks from Sky Blue Pink to highlight and accent the flowers and dragonflies.

I used the same paper pack on the inside. The solid center piece is the reverse side of the lotus paper and is attached with dragonfly brads from Sky Blue Pink.

Although this is my very first card from scratch I think it turned out pretty good. I hope my partner agrees!
