(Almost!) One Layer Wonders
Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog sharing inspiration using the Glimmering Flowers collection. Today I have three cards to share that are (almost) one-layer cards. Whilst I love adding dimension on my cards, for mailing purposes, it is easier having less dimension! GET WELL SOON For my first card, I wanted to create a shaped card. I find that shaped cards add more interest to clean and simple cards. To make this card: I took a panel of white cardstock and placed a piece of Silver Foil shiny side up on top. I placed the Glimmering Buttercups Glimmer Plate on…

I have been looking forward to working with this collection and creating some stunning cards quickly and easily.
