Do you know what I mean, or is it just me? I didn't feel like doing any clever techniques, loads of stamping, colouring, or anything else, I just wanted to . . . make a card! This fit the bill perfectly!
All I did was stamp a greeting on a 'Project Life' card (I keep them in case I need a card in a hurry, or I've lost my mojo and can't think of anything). Then, I just adhered a piece of background paper cut smaller than the card base to the front, then, a sheet of vellum cut smaller than the patterned paper and finally topped it with the 'Project Life' card and some 'Enamel Accents' and called it done . . . a nice QAS (quick and simple) card, which satisfied a need 👍
I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! Thank you so much for your visit today and especially if you have left a comment. You are all appreciated more than you know!

A really pretty card Hazel. I like the idea of using vellum over the background paper. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteSuch an elegant and classy card. Love the layering of the background paper/card. Hope you've had a lovely weekend? x
ReplyDeleteYes! Exactly! Did the job you needed it to do. I keep some little die cuts and have these quick card panels from Reverse Confetti that I like to use and some sticker letters that I use to make names. Perfect for kids cards needed quickly :) I love the use of the different layers and the vellum as well. Xx
ReplyDeleteLove how quick and CAS this turned out! Great idea.
ReplyDeleteIts a lovely card :)
ReplyDeleteYes I would understand what you mean, I'm the same and sometimes those quicker cards are better than the one's that take a while. Lovely flower and the finished card is so elegant and that vellum adds that touch of softest too. Thank you for your kindness on Facebook and following my blog. Hugs to you x
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous card, Hazel!! I love the vellum!! The flower is beautiful!! Love this, my friend!! Have a great day!! Big hugs :)

Yes yes yes.....I totally agree and wrote something similar on a recent blog post. Not every card we create has to make people say WOW! The thought and care that are put into them is what counts.
ReplyDeleteI love the addition of the vellum! This is a beautiful card and one that anyone would love to receive. I pinned this in my QAS folder. Thanks for the inspiration!!
