Card - Challenge - HB Envelope

I made this card to meet a few challenges.
Designer Paper - I started with the patterned paper by Webster Pages - Kickball.
Envelope - I made the envelope with the Sizzix Scallop Envelope Bigz die by Stampin Up.  I used a watercolored turquoise paper which I warmed up with Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Stain because it was too white for the DSP.  I stamped the greeting in warm green with a small SU stamp.
Masculine HB - The colors were quite masculine, so to add to that feeling, I hid the scallop edge of the envelope with a small card which was the same color as the card and just fit inside.   I cut the letters HB with the Sizzix Shadow Box dies in complementary colors of light and dark blue green.
Ribbon - I added a length of caramel seam binding across the DSP which I knotted before I adhered the envelope to the front.

I'm submitting this card to the following challenges:
1. Daring Card Makers - Envelope
2, Hazel's Patterned Paper - February
3. Crazy For Cards - C4C271 - Masculine HB

Cool Tool - 12x12 drawers - Paper Storage

I use these 12x12 drawer units for patterned paper storage. I have 2 units which gives me 8 drawers. One unit holds paper sorted by color. The other holds other paper like Christmas paper, Specialty paper like acetate, vellum, glitter etc, multicolored paper and one drawer for scraps of patterned paper.  It works for me because I can see the paper.  When the scraps drawer gets too full I go through it and purge.  I bought the units at Walmart.  The labelling is not too sophisticated and I should replace them with clear labels now that I have a label maker.  One day soon.
