This is one of those quick and simple cards that only took four and a half hours to make.
That cream colored piece is heavily textured so I broke out the Versafine ink for it and did a little touch up with a Copic thin liner. It looks quite crisp and clean in real life. I'm not sure the photo translates that so well. The red layer is metallic.
I had fun stamping that afternoon, even though my description of making it sounds like it should have been frustrating. Because while this card took awhile to come to life, I coaxed out quite a number of other ones before this one.

Fabulous card! The red looks so striking against the neutral colours. I am glad you had crafty fun making your cards xxx
That sounds like me taking four hours to make a CAS card! Glad you stuck with this though because it's so pretty and very classy looking. Perfect patterned paper to add!

I can usually make a 12-layered card quicker than a simple CAS card, so I hear you on this one! It did turn out great after all the thought you put into it though! I've already spent 5 hrs putting a card together only to chuck it in the trash can! LOL I guess my mind is too complicated to make CAS cards a regular item in my stash! Well done PJ!
That's funny - that's how it goes for me sometimes too! The simplest cards can be quick - or they can end up taking hours! The end result looks great! Nice sentiment and I like the pop of red!
Well, it sure came out lovely in the end, Judy! So fun when that happens!
I think it looks great. Like the band of ribbon across the corner for the extra little touch.
