I am taking a few days of much needed R&R, so no video tutorial this week. However, I cannot go off without leaving you with a beautiful card idea. This one is a 'slimline card', using the Sending Smiles bundle.
I love slimline cards - they are fun to make and even more fun to receive.
Create thoughtful cards for every occasion with the Sending Smiles bundle. Send sunshine to brighten someone’s day, comfort and strength, a note of thanks, or birthday wishes. Whatever the occasion, you can create beautiful cards with heartfelt thoughts that will bring a smile to whoever receives it! This set includes nine versatile sentiments and thirteen images that arrange to create a wide variety of floral designs.
Mix and match blossoms, buds, stems, and leaves for new patterns that can be as simple or complex as you like. These stamps are perfect for a single ink and stamp to create backgrounds, borders, or centerpieces.
