Beautiful Day - Sue's Simple Sentiment Cards

Today’s projects are very simple and quick to make.   

When I saw the Maggie Holmes ‘Lifeline’ I knew straight away that I wanted to make some simple cards using black cardstock.

The materials I used were;

Maggie Holmes Papers – Lifeline.

A small of cut of the reverse side of the ‘Family Tree’ paper.

A camera cut out from the ‘Album’ paper.

Black cardstock (from my stash)

Nuvo Crystal Drops – Buttermilk

Prima Flowers (Left from previous project)

20.5 cm

First step is to cut the black card stock to the size you want for the cards.  I cut my A4 piece down to  20.5 cm x 21cm.

Then I folded them all in half to make the card bases. 

Next I cut out all the sentiments and flowers. Some I left with a black border but most I just cut without a border.

My next step was to draw a squiggly line around the edge of the card (as a border) in gold gel pen.

Then I simply chose a sentiment and cut out flower to decorate the card.

I used the Prima flower on one, attaching with the glue gun.

On one card I used an off cut strip from the reverse of the ‘family tree’ paper, a sentiment and one of the camera images from the ‘Album’ paper. 

I added some Nuvo drops to a couple of the cards.  And I still had some sentiment left for another project.

Simple cards to express your thoughts or just to cheer up a friend.  
The sentiments says it all.
