This card just came to me when I saw the cute envelope stamp! I cut a scalloped edge from printer paper and used a sponge to create the sky background. I then die-cut a cloud from clear cardstock and hand-sew it on. It's a little hard to see from the photo but I've added some vellum wings to the envelope to make it look like it's flying!

The second card is very similar in that it also uses the cute swirl from Fresh Blooms. Following Virginia's foot steps, I used the stamped swirl as a guide for me to glue the twine, giving the card some texture. I finished the card with the bee from the same stamp set with some vellum wings again!
