Night of Navy and Whisper White is such a classic color combination. When silver is added to the pair, you’ve now moved it up a notch to classy. I adore the simple elegance of this card which features the Winter Woods Bundle from the Holiday catalog.
I want to talk to you about a product from the Holiday catalog that is easy to over look, but will make a simple card look stunning and will save you time on your projects. What am I talking about? Check out page 11 of the Holiday Catalog and look close…we’ve got Foil-Edged Cards & Envelopes. These cards & envelopes come 20 to a package and are available in Gold or Silver. I used the Silver Foil-Edged Card for the base of this project, so my card base and what looks like a matted layer are already done for me. I just added the Night of Navy layer and I’m all set.
