Hey ~ getting away from the Christmas stuff here….but here's another swap going out in the mail today!!!! The theme of this swap was BLACK & WHITE…then it was modified a little to be BLACK & WHITE or CLEAN & SIMPLE. I went with both!!!!
The strip down the side uses the GORGEOUS Night & Day Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Holiday Mini Catalog. I made one of each – one side of this beautiful paper is a darker design and the other is more faded and floral.
It's hard to see – but the circle that says "Friend" is adhered to the inside of the card through a 1 3/4" window…. I LOVE WINDOW CARDS!
I decided to go with this one….I like the "fade-out" on this side of the DSP.
