A Fresh Beginning

Today's project features some fresh blooms for a fresh year. These are 4-1/4" square cards. One thing my SU! upline taught me is if you're going to make a card, you may as well make two since you'll have everything out and you usually need to cut the paper in half anyway! :-)

For the bottom layer, I stamped the design from Always Elegant in Wild Wasabi, then flipped the paper over and scored it in 1" increments using my scoring board. On the lower card, I sponged some Soft Suede ink over the scored lines to increase the distressed aged look, but I kept the lines on the top card plain. Click on the picture to view a larger image and see the scored lines.

It's always good to have quick note cards on hand - you never know when you may need them!
