Simply Soft

Simply Soft...the name of the stamp set.  Simply Soft...the big pink striped bow.  Simply Soft...the color palette.  When I design cards for my classes I always think about whether it will fit in a standard envelope and be able to be mailed for standard postage.  I also have to limit the amount of ribbon and embellishments because I have 24 people making the same card.  But for blog post cards I can do whatever I want.  This card was fun, but impractical.  Now that's my kind of  card!

the card is beautiful...and NICE JOB on the bow! I am "bow impaired" and have always said that God gave me 3 boys for a reason, I never had to ti bows! But I have figured out how to make a nice knot so no worries. And a big old thick knot can add up to extra postage quite easily so I gave up and just started buying the 64 cent stamps to have on had...easier than going to the Post Office and never a problem when I want to mail something in a clear envy.
