betty locke's graceful envelope

the graceful envelope archive is a great place to look for inspiration. this one jumped out at me because it would be a good way to practice your tiny little capital letters as well as some very pretty flourishes. notice that they are super simple. if you are just starting on flourishing, you would do well to master simple S curves before you move on to loops.

many of the graceful envelope winning envelopes are super complicated. i always like when they pick a winner that is very simple and beginner friendly. betty is not a beginner by any stretch of the imagination. but, she can see the value a very simple idea.
