A versatile card design is good to have as a part of your card sta
sh, What makes this design versatile is that it could be used for men or women for a variety of occasions: birthday, mother’s day, father’s day, or wedding.Additionally, it is quick and easy to make due to material selection. Impression Obsession Cover-a-Card Stamps makes this a quick to create. The slow drying time of Clearsnap’s Mix’d Media Inx makes it easier to ink up a large stamp. To create a more vintage feel to the card I chose not to apply an even coat of the silver ink to the flourishes stamp.
