More of the Same

As promised.....here are another couple of easel cards. These 2 cards fit into a standard envelope. The cards measure 14.8cm x 10.5cms.

The first card is the first time I used Basic Grey as a colour (will not be the last though). Being an 'economic crafter', I look out for things in bargain stores. The background paper in this card is no exception. This paper was in a packet of 24 DSP's and were $2 at the Reject Shop!!! I got 2 packs, one blacks/whites/greys and the other baby themed. Both have come in very, very handy...but I digress. When I looked at the paper the flower reminded me of the one from Pocket Silhouettes. Match the paper colour, match the stamp and there you have it!! The sentiment is from 'Amy R' pack of Birthday Sentiments from Bizzy Becs. Love the monochrome look of this card.

The second card is almost a direct CASE again fm SCS here. I thought it had a kind of vintage feel to it, so perfect for the slightly more mature recipient. I added another row of the decorative punch at the top, as well as along the bottom of the vanilla cardstock inside. The flower stamp is a 2-step one, in that the markers are coloured directly onto the stamp and then stamped. The outline is then lined up where you wish for it to be (using a Stamp-a-ma-jig or similar) and then stamped. I was very happy with the end result. Hope you perhaps want to give this sort of card a go...it won't be your last.
