Five Minute Friday!

Is it possible to make a card in 5 minutes? Well, this card comes close. After stamping the background paper and the message you need only to add paper flowers, pearls and layered papers.

You can find complete instructions and supplies HERE.

Some layering tips:

1. If you are stamping a background that will be seen, start stamping in the middle and work to the outside edges.
2. Vary the direction of the image.
3. If only a thin border will show, stamp around the edges of the paper. No need to waste ink by stamping the center part.
4. Use papers that have stamping boo boos for layering.
5. Layer pieces of paper that are not symmetrical. Sometimes 3 or 4 little layered pieces of paper with a message or single colored image make a fantastic card.

Today’s second idea comes from Shari Carroll and also incorporates paper flowers and pearls.
