#simplestamping Thank You Cards with Lovely You

Hello Everyone,

I’ve got some #simplestamping for you today.

This card is completely flat but has a dimensional look thanks to a little masking!

I chose to work with a traditional palette of green colours;

  • Soft Seafoam
  • Evening Evergreen
  • Granny Apple Green

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…..

By changing the colour combination the card takes on a different look.

This combo used;

  • Soft Seafoam
  • Just Jade
  • Shaded Spruce

I hope you enjoyed this project.
