Stationery Round 1=ornamentation overboard

So once again I've overdone it, trying to come up with some wild way of connecting the envelope to the stationery through thread and attaching a key the opener must physically put through the keyhole in order to open and view the stationery..sawing off a spike from a Ukranian weapon and sanding it down to use as the capture for the thread...

I think I am going to keep the thread, but maybe instead of having both patterns overlayed, just use one line so it doesn't compete too much with the logo. I think I went a little thread happy after I learned how to sew with a machine. The part I do like about the thread hanging off to some extent is that it's easy to pull the stationery out of the envelope...but having the key attached seems impractical after having had some sleep and looking back at what I've created. The whole key application with the hanging thread might resurface once I create an invitation package for a fun party Ernest might hold at his showroom.

Note to self: get SLEEP.......Keep it creative, but keep it SIMPLE SIMPLE SIMPLE. Do not overwork/overthink your ideas.
