Happy Sunday,Todays card is very simple although it may not look it! I simply embossed the Couture Creations A4 embossing folder Borders Tags and backgrounds in Blush card. I then split the background in 2 and added them on either side of an A4 piece of card folded into a gatefold.
I added a tag stamped and cut from the same embossing folder and added some of the delicate daisies in pink and white. Finally I inked the whole piece with Fired Brick distress ink and finished. Looks complicated but it's really simple!
Ingredients:
Couture Creations A4 Background, tags and borders embossing folder.
Sue Wilson Delicate Daisies die set
Fired Brick Distress Ink
Enjoy...
How impressive that something quite simple can be so striking - gorgeous !

Great idea for a reasonably quick card John. And today I can see yesterday's card better, so it must have been the sunlight behind me yesterday that made it hard to see on my monitor. It looks good, now that I can see it, LOL

ReplyDeleteDoesn't look at all complicated matey. Simple but pretty, especially with the flowers but I would lose the ribbon (or is it a bow?) personally.
Nearly home time now eh?
Have a great day.

Good morning John this is a beautiful card I love the colour. It is good to have simple but effective cards because there isn't always time for the complicated ones. I hope you are enjoying your holiday. I love cruises Pam Smith teaches on them but you probably already knew that. Take care. Hugs Jackie

I really like the that this card is quite striking yet simple to do. So often I overthink things and just make a mess but you just pull simple things together and hey presto you get a touchdown! Not sure I fully understand the ribbon though-is it there to hold the tag or to tie the two sides together?
