Well it looks like I posted twice in one day. I sometimes mess up my scheduling like that. Since I did that I decided to share a card I made for a friend at work.
Steve sits in my cube area and we've known each other for years. He is a great guy. I made everyone in my area Christmas cards last year. At the end of the holidays Steve brought my card back to me. I said - I made it for you to keep. He said - I don't keep cards, I'm just going to throw it away. I can't remember if I took it back or not. Now I was not offended by this at all. Steve is very honest which I appreciate. So when his birthday rolled around I decided to keep his card clean and simple. I wanted to make him a nice card, but I didn't want to spend hours on something he was going to throw away.
This is what I came up with. I am quite pleased with how it turned out.
I used washi tape and a sentiment. I layered a=the piece of white cardstock with the washi tape and sentiment on a white card base. It is clean and simple, but classy. I am going to use this technique over and over again. Maybe I can use up some of my washi tape hoard - er I mean collection.
And guess what Steve said when I told him I made him a throw away card. He said - I wouldn't throw it away. Seriously?
Thank you for stopping by the blog. Have a great day and tune in next week for another theme.
