Christina went with the blue+flowers theme - which looks nice on the kraft paper envelope. I like the cancels in the two corners, although that double-cancel over the owl is unfortunate. She did a very good job of adhering everything to the envelope. Nothing was coming undone.

I spotted this on John Steven's IG - calligraphile is his name on IG:
I kind of surprised myself. I was testing this new brush (not released yet), and wrote this Roman alphabet w/o any lines or layout. I know, sounds like a brag, but I think there is a freedom to this and with calligraphy, risk is necessary; to feel letters. In my whole career, I have experimented with spontaneous v. planning. Neither is better, but it keeps you awake to do things differently occasionally.
Jean's words: If you would like to see his page of awesomeness - LINK to John Stevens IG
I need to etch his words into the part of my brain that helps me with my envelope ideas:
Neither is better, but it keeps you awake to do things differently occasionally.

The flip side of Christina's envelope is as much fun as the front.
