Super Simple Boho card
Here is a very simple and quick card made with Boho Backgrounds.
I knew as soon as I saw that set that I NEEDED it.
The flower background, the saying and the medaillon are just too pretty not to own.
On page 14 of the new catalog is a Simply Sent kit called Lifelong Notes.
My card layout is cased from those notes. I just thought they were so pretty.
I love simple cards, but have a hard time keeping mine that way.
The card base is 6 3/4″ x 6 1/2″ piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock, scored at 3 1/4″ and folded in half. This will fit great in a business size envelope.
I stamped the medaillon twice in Always Artichoke on Shimmery White cardstock. The first one I punched out with my scallop circle punch, the second one with my 1 1/4″ circle punch. In between I taped a 1 3/8″ Chocolate Chip circle. I added an Antique Brass brad in the center.
I stamped the flower background on the middle of the card, added a 7/8 strip of Always Artichoke Prints Designer paper and tied white Taffeta ribbon over that.
The bottom right has the saying You make me happy from the same set.
I simply LOVE this medaillon!
