Elegant Cards

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 just 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.

 I buy most of my card from the Papermill Direct and I use the 300 gsm card the most for my bases

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!!)

A simple  square can look stunning is just turquoise and white

Add a pretty flower along the edge to keep the card to the occasion it's meant to be for

The sentiment has been stamped and heat embossed in clear powder for a really shiny look and  this card would look good on anyone's mantelshelf

Add a lovely verse for the inside and it's ready to send to someone you care for

And how about this for that special birthday for a girlfriend, fiancé 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 received it

These flowers are in two layers and Acetate has been used to give movement to the petals and the addition of the gemstones in the centre of the flowers enhances them

The dragon flies around the flowers  are silver peel offs

Some simple Doodling around the edge of the card with a silver pen, and the peel off sentiment... "Happy Birthday " ... would let your friend know she is loved

And in every cardmakers time there could be an occasion when a Sympathy card is needed and this is the time to keep it elegant

This card is very simply a white square with an embossed flower detail on the panel mounted onto silver mirror card.

The butterflies and sentiment are also in silver and keep it all to the same theme.

Very plain but can say so much
