There are times I need a card and I have absolutely no inspiration. I spend hours searching online only to find that I just saved sixteen dog related pins, a gluten-free cookie recipe, and watched a video on how to organize a refrigerator. Today, I needed a few Thank-You cards and, instead of browsing the internet, I decided to copy a card I made earlier this week.
For some recent online challenges I created a simple Bright & Sunny Thoughts card using an overlay. I enjoyed the look of that overlay, so I decided to create another one, this time with Gold Foil paper and a Gold Embossed sentiment. The first card was created using White Daisy cardstock, but, even though I like the simplicity, I like the combination of Pink & Gold on second card much more. Both cards turned out wonderfully, and I didn’t have to reinvent a design – I just used what I already had in my book of tricks.
