Combine the Colors Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock for an Easy but Stunning Just a Note Card Using the Just My Type Stamp Set

I don't know about you but I find this color combination of Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon very calming to look at. It must be the nature look in the leaves, and the shades of blue green in the cardstocks. Do you agree?

Sending a beautiful handmade card to a dear friend that is "Just a Note" is why I placed two typewriters on the card front instead of just one. The message would be going from me to you. 

Whomever you would send this card to would be so appreciative of your kind act. Why don't you make someone's day and snail mail them one of your handmade cards? If you decided to make this layout as the card to send your friend, it is very easy even though it has multiple proportional layers. I find I can make cards faster if I design or sketch my idea firsts, then cut all my paper, do my stamping next, then fussy cutting, and finally assemble. By doing it this way I can focus better and pay attention to making a quality card each and every time.

Don't forget to have a matching envelope flap too. I love the look and the fact that I'm using up more of my vast collection of Designer Series Papers. Give it a try if you haven't yet. You create more of a WOW factor by doing so.
