This first one is a 6 x6 card. I wanted a lot of white space on this card and I wanted it clean and bright~
I was low on MOJO for this card, so I took inspiration from this Cardabilities Sketch:
And this color combo from Colour Q~
This next card is much more formal and traditional~
Head on over to the Heartfelt Creations blog to be inspired by all of the gorgeous creations by the rest of the Design Team.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog. You are much appreciated! Have a blessed week!
