Easy colorwash card



I made this card in just minutes (no small feat for me!) with Cord'inations new colorwash cardstock. I love this stuff! I rolled a piece through the cuttlebug then sanded the embossing. The colorwash coating is pretty heavy and takes 150 grade sandpaper. So cool to see the color coming through. The corners were trimmed with my corner rounder punch-gives such a nice finished look. Then I stamped my sentiment on another piece, sanded the edges, and taped it on. I finished it off with some purple rain dots in the flower centers. I really like the rain dots when you want to send a nice flat card. They don't poke through the envelope like brads and pearls do. How easy was that? I pumped 4 of these out in no time for Cricut Card Fairies--maybe now I'll get caught up! Thanks for taking a peak!
