Gloria shows us how to make simple and elegant fall cards
I wanted to show that Graphic45 papers can be used for simple, whimsical cards as well as the more grungy vintage types of projects. I used stamped images from Papertrey Ink, colored with Copic markers, for this set of three cards. Who would think that you could use Le' Romantique, A Proper Gentleman, and On the Boardwalk papers for a set of fall themed cards? Well, you can! I try to think out of the box to extend the "life" of my papers. Plus, I only need a bit of paper to create a card, so I save my scraps and use them - with a twist!
