Elegant Leaves in Cajun Craze

Elegant Leaves Bundle

A few weeks back, Cajun Craze was the monochromatic challenge.... and it happened just a couple of days after I was home from my knee replacement....so my card had to be as absolutely simple as possible. Of course I look at it now and can see a few things that I wish I had done differently, but that is the beauty of a hand crafted card.... I can always make another one :)

To create this card I used one stamp to create a tonal card front design. I used Cajun Craze ink on the light side of the Cajun Craze Two Tone cardstock. Basic Beige is a perfect neutral color to allow the rich beauty of Cajun Craze to shine through. I am in love with the leaves in the corners of the inner message liner.
