Mr & Mrs card

My nephew was married yesterday.  Wow!  Now, I know I wasn’t that old when he was born, but I’m still a bit baffled by this one….

Anyway, when I sent the gift, I needed a card.  You all know I don’t do extravagant cards.  Just not me.  I love looking at fancy beautiful time consuming cards, but I just don’t make them.  Clean and ultra simple is my style.

One of my favorite things in my card making repertoire are foam dots.  It’s amazing how a little bit of foam to add dimension to a simple sticker can really add a lot of interest.

Ha - thanks Becky. I've accepted that I do and like to make cards. What hung me up was comparing myself to the cards that people spend hours on.......once I accepted that simple is good, I'm happy to make cards :)

Amanda, I love this card. I'm Ms. Clean and Simple cards,too. While I love extravagant beautiful cards, I just don't take the time to make them either. Sometimes, but vary rarely. TFS.
