Clean & Simple Card Making - Day 2
Day 2 of Clean & Simple Cards was to create a One Layer Card or Perfectly Flat Card. In my early years of card making those were the only kind of cards I made. I had forgotten the simplicity of a OLC, of course cards of the past lacked the amazing colours of cards today. I broke out my Mehndi Medallion to create my card, I stamped it once in Broken China, masked it with a 2 1/2" circle and stamped again in Faded Jeans both Ranger Distress Inks. I finished it off with a simple 'Merci', you can never have enough thank you cards.
Pin It
This is so pretty. I've been toying around in my mind about using this set for a OLC. Now, I will do it for sure! The hearts embossing folder you asked about--it is Sizzix, and I believe it came in a set with two other small folders, and I got it at Michaels (w/coupon) last year.
