Do you ever feel like your card is 'too plain'? I'm not a big white space fan so a CAS card or even one with just tiny images usually seems too plain for me.
Today's card challenge was for a Dry Embossed Folder Background and here's what I came up with.
I've used this lovely Gossamer's Lace 3D Embossing Folder from Crafter's Companion and a solid cherry red piece of cardstock. The impression was perfect!
The pink dimension ribbon was just a scrap on my desk from another project, and I attached it about 1 1/2" from the bottom edge. The sentiment was stamped from Sweet n Sassy, Roses for You `set and die cut. I only secured it along the ribbon and included a note to my swap partner to feel free to change the sentiment to fit her event use if she'd like.
So simple and plain is okay.... even leaving a sentiment off or just enclosing in your mailing with a swap is okay. Give yourself freedom not to stay in a box all the time!
