Another Way to Step It Up
Here's the first Easter Card I made for the Less Is More challenge, until I realized the color was supposed to be aqua; so I made the one in my previous post. Meanwhile, I decided to add some depth to this card. As you can see, initially it was "flat" and decidedly ho-hum.
However, just a few slits with a craft knife changed the look to a 3-D effect that is much improved. Hopefully, you can see the dimension added by cutting along three of the petals and lifting them up without foam tape. I also lifted the top of one of the leaves.
Just this little bit of extra effort makes a big difference!

You're right Doris! Just the little bit of extra effort in cutting and adding dimension to the flowers makes such a big difference!
