Two Plain and Simple Cards by Natalie

The trend today seems to be to cram as many details & embellishments onto our cards as possible! Sometimes it’s nice to ‘let the picture do the talking’ and so I have made 2 CAS (clean & simple) cards using the same stamp, but different colours.

To Make

Run a square of white card through your cutting machine using an embossing folder of your choice. Mount this onto a larger square of red card. Attach a strip of ribbon across the middle of the card and secure on the reverse, then glue to your card blank. Stamp your image onto an oval piece of white card and colour (TIP for colouring grass – use 2 or 3 different shades and use a flicking motion going from the bottom to the top to get a ‘blade’ like effect). Mount this onto an oval cut using ‘Floral Ovals’ die and attach to the card using 3d foam. Finish off with pearls in the corner and a bow.
