Another technique I like is to coordinate your envelope by stamping part of an image from your card onto it. In this case, I stamped the upper portion of my heron on the corner of my envelope. I had colored in the heron on my card to make a full silhouette, but I decided to leave the detail on the envelope.

This is beautiful, Lois. I think I am going to case this card for a local card swap with friends. Thanks, for sharing.
Love your card Lois -very elegant - also wanted you to know that I credited you for the Faux Leather Technique just a bit ago for my card today- I had the wrong linky - as we had 3 Faux Leather Tutorials in the past - so sorry but made a posting on my blog and add the new link so people can learn how you do it - I do love this tutorial and I like to do up many mats ahead of time while I am doing the technique -thanks for sharing!
Lois,
Your card is beautiful and elegant! I love the color behind the crane - soft and pretty.
