When your cardstock has built-in contrast, you don’t need to do much to make it shine! This handmade card uses the light and dark sides of Stampin’ Up!® Two-Tone Cardstock to create a dimensional rose and textured background with minimal fuss. The flower and leaves are from the Charming Day Dies, part of a newly released bundle that I used in last week’s card project. A sweet sentiment and a pearl embellishment are all it takes to finish this simply lovely design.
