A pretty splash of color with some gold accents highlight my project today. I’m featuring Classic Linen card stock in solar white–an elegant choice for for thank you and thinking of you cards.

You can’t have a Valentine card without Cupid, so for today’s card, I have two of these cuties! I chose Astrobright Re-entry Red cardstock to highlight this fun heart frame from Avery Elle.

Using dark cardstock offers a great opportunity to highlight many different techniques. For today’s project, I’m using the beautifully textured Royal Sundance Midnight Blue card stock as a backdrop for a birthday greeting. This is a rich navy with a slight cross-hatch texture to it.
