For the "Keeping it Simple" challenge--I did manage to make this in just a few minutes. The green base is a quarter sheet of CS, the red is a top folded card cut 1/4" smaller overall. Wheeled a border inside, stamped Canvas on the outside and Itty Bitty on the torn and folded up flap. The greeting was embossed in gold and then brushed with bleach. The bleach was an afterthought because the greeting didn't show up enough on the red. I didn't want to start the whole thing over again because then it wouldn't have been a "simple" card!

Wow.....Leslie. I love your "double card" and how you solved your greeting issue with bleach. What a great idea. I could sure use that after thought at times. I usually solve with another layer, but I really like the bleached look. TFS I can't wait to see IRL Nancy

This is a beautiful card; so glad you explained the bleach in your comments; I was looking for it in your "ingredient" list & didn't see it so I was wondering how the heck you did that w/o bleach! It's awesome & going right to my favs!
