This week's Clean & Simple #246 gives me a great chance to spend some more time working on "single-layer" cards - something that's kind of on my mind as I start putting together my swaps for convention, lol. I want to make beautiful, amazing and over-the-top cards to trade while I'm there, BUT, I want to make 200 of them! Yikes! I plan on doing 50 each of four different cards, a different one for each day I'll be circulating the Stampin' Up! universe that I expect convention to be.
My strategy is to give each card one simple "WOW" element, to help keep my cost down on cards that I'll be basically giving away for free (though I do get one back in trade, eee!) So, how to pare down, but still be WOW?? How about clean and beautiful elements, strategically highlighted on a single layer card? That was today's experiment - getting warmed up!
