This was a super simple and quick card to make. I think it took me longer to get out the supplies to make this card than it did to actually complete it!!! Putting the supplies away is a story for a different day!!! LOL
I used the new "Pretty Petals" decorative paper stack. I LOVE those stacks. This one is fabulous and I have a feeling I may actually use it up before it retires!!! That would be a first! Sometimes I tend to hoard pages because I think they are so fabulous and other times I forget I have the stack. So I'm going to try hard to use this one up. Though I don't think it will be so hard. Like I said, it's got lots of pretty pages in it!!! The bottom layer is the backside of the top layer. I was going to add a third panel but there wasn't room for it so I just stuck with the 2 panels and the words. And that makes 3 pieces and it's always best to work in odd numbers. So I complied with the artistic rule of thumb!!! LOL
I used Very Vanilla card stock. I had originally stamped the words on Whisper White card stock and then I began to assemble the card and realized that the flowered background looked more vanilla than white. SO I restamped the words on Very Vanilla and used the oval die to cut it out on my Big Shot. I used the next larger size oval and cut it out using Pacific Point card stock. I also cut out the other two strips in Pacific Point.
The card may or may not need some bling. I don't like to add a lot of it because it would cost more to mail. Sometimes less is more!!! Right?
This was a fun card to make. Using decorative paper helps in making cards go together quicker and adds a lot of color and dimension to a card.
This layout would make a fun Make n Take card or even a fun Stamp A Stack card!!
Thank you SO much for visiting today,
