2 Must-Have Tips
Creating stark contrast really makes your cards stand out whether you are doing that with color, textures or sizes. Using a really skinny border contrasting the think margin on the card base makes it visually interesting. Add some elements that cross over the thin layer into the thick and you have a stunning card!
Easily Customizable
You just need 2 colors of ink & 2 colors of cardstock! Now use the same color of cardstock that you did for the leaves to create a layer. Then choose a card base!
It’s incredibly easy to adjust this card because you just need to change up the two colors. I made waaayyyy too many examples because I was having so much fun!
