Floral Border Card

This card measures approximately 21cms x 7cms and is made using a white linen effect, hand cut card blank.
I think this card is a huge, huge cheat really.  I am desperately trying to work my way through as many embellishments as I can in order to downsize and this was a quick and easy way of using most of a Papermania 3D floral border that I have had for a couple of years. ….. Hands up, all I did was cut a bit off each end to fit the card ……. no skills needed whatsoever!
I did however add the tiniest flat backed pearls in between some of the leaves to add a little extra texture and subtle bling, but that’s it, a lazy, lazy card!
I now have the two ends left of the border, so I guess I need to find an equally “lazy” way of using them up too, perhaps on a tag or as the centre on small gift card.

You forgot to mention the creativity it took to come up with a way to use that border! I don't think it's a "lazy" card at all. I think it's lovely, creative and smart!

Hi Helen. I agree with Cheryl, you came up with a way to use this pretty border and that is the hardest part of card making for me! Take care.
