Simply Elegant Cards... ...When Less is Definitely More.
I am a "Bling" girl and love adding all sorts to my cards. But simple Elegant Cards can sometimes be the better idea.
This card would be equally as good used as a birthday, thank you, or invitation card.
The elegance comes from using good quality card and leaving lots of white space around the image. And of course a little "Bling"
And it goes without saying that by "good quality" I don't mean expensive.
There is a lot of
Card
around with good weight that will fit the bill perfectly.
But to keep the theme to elegant cards just limit what you put on it.........(very difficult for me, coz I throw everything onto my efforts!!)
Simple Christmas cards can look stunning in just cream and gold.
A
Gold Ribbon
along the edge, and the top of the embossed tree, keep the card to the season it's meant for.
And it would look good on any one's mantlepiece.
This butterfly is in two layers and
Acetate
has been used to give movemnt to the wings, and the addition of the flowers on the body enhance it.
Some simple
Doodling
around the edge of the card with a silver pen, and the peel off sentiment... "To a Special Friend"... would let your friend know she is loved.
And how about this for that special birthday for a girlfriend, fiance or wife....
Maybe you can't afford the real
Flowers
on Valentines day, but these little paper beauties wouldn't break the bank.
And the card would be sure to please any one that recieved it.
