LAVENDER HUGS

As they often say in the art world, less is more. This card is the embodiment of that saying.

Simple, but effective.

SUPPLIES:

White cardstock

Serene Patterned Paper

Foliage stamp

Coordinating ink

Big Shot

Hugs Die

Stitched Shapes Dies

Leafy Embossing Folder

Dimensionals

Mini Glue Dots

White Baker's Twine

INSTRUCTIONS:

Score a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of white cardstock in half,  creasing it well with a bone folder.

Cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of white cardstock. Emboss this with a leafy embossing folder. Add this to the white card base,

Cut a piece of your chosen patterned paper to 2 3/4" x 4 1/4". Adhere it centered to the embossed piece.

On a scrap of white cardstock, stamp the frond in coordinating ink. Use a suitably sized stitched oval die to cut it out.

From white baker's twine, tie a small bow. Use a mini glue dot to add it to the lower portion of the stamped image.

Using Dimensionals, add the completed oval towards the top of the patterned piece, leaving approximate equal margins at the top and sides.

From white cardstock, die cut the word "hugs". Using glue sparingly, add the word beneath the oval.

Less

Smiles.
