BACK TO BASICS

Well, Hi There!!
It took me long enough to get back:)  I have decided to concentrate on some back to basic type cards for awhile.  I am sure my need to reach for my embellishments will over come me at some point.  But for now I am trying to use some simple cards with simple designs.  Let me say, this is harder for me than my embellished cards.  I was hoping to crank them out fast because they are simple but that is not the case.
I need some simple "thinking of you" cards - my card box is depleted!!
I have to get back to checking up on everyone too!  Hope you have been more creative than I have been.  I lost a little of my mojo I think!!  Thanks so much for stopping by - big hugs to you ~ CaroleAnn

Here is my card:
The topper I used came from Flowersoft and I lined some orange paper behind the popup flowers.  Used some orange twine on top and the stamp "Hello" is from my stash.
Side view - you can see the popup flowers a little better. And I added some rhinestones for the center of the flowers.

  1. What an adorable Hello card Carole. It's really not that simple... I too find these harder to do than the heavily embellished ones but you have aced this one. Glad to see you back and a blessed 2013 to you. "Hugs"
