No on to my cards.... I love fancy folds.. and I have achieved two different looks by just changing out types of paper. My technique is using the patterned paper and stamping my bold letter on them so they stand out.


The first card I made for my Mom.  She loves roses and I just love the Navy and Pink combo.



For the second card I made one for a special male in our lives going to start a new journey.  











Now you’re off to visit with Card A Day Challenge Team. Hope you had fun and thanks for stopping by.  See you next month with another technique!
