Spotlight on Patterned Paper: Elegant Friendship Card

Hello,

Today's card is the final in the patterned paper series.  It is a very simple card and is quick to make so would be easily mass produced.

Materials:

• White card base, black polka dotted paper, green paper and white card
• Friendship stamp (Kaisercraft)
• Black ink (Stazon)
• Black gel pen
• Black embroidery floss
• Green sparkly thread

Directions:

1. Trim the polka dot paper to fit your card front.  Cut a strip of white card large enough to fit your stamp and a bow at the bottom.  Cut a piece of green paper to create a small border for the white piece.
2. Stamp the sentiment on to the white piece.  Using the gel pen create a dash line border around the edge.  Tie a bow with the green and black threads together underneath the sentiment.  Adhere the piece on to the green paper and the panel onto the card front.

See told you it was simple.  Yet it looks good doesn't it?  That is the beauty of patterned paper, it can be used to cut down on the time it takes to create but you still get amazing looking cards!  Prepare yourself for a whole bunch of birthday cards over the next month, I have many friends and family with birthday's in August and I need to make them all a card!

Til next time.
