Lately it seems like my cards are growing more and more layers, so I decided to see if I could still make one layer cards that I like. Added incentive was finding these pre-embossed dots cards in the Hobby Lobby clearance bin!
Although it was difficult, I forced myself to forgo even ribbon or brads, but without the extra layers and embellishments, the focus seems to be more on the adorable images. Still couldn't resist the flocking and CE, though.
Now if only they weren't square cards, I might actually have saved money on postage, too!

Aww, they are so sweet, Jessica! I am sure you had a tough time keeping away from the ribbon and brads, but I think the end results are adorable just the way they are. I bet the embossing really adds to the central focus of the image, too.

Those are SUPER cute!!! You are right...the images really stand out. I never thought of stamping on premade cards like that. I have no idea why. But it's an excellent idea! Makes me want to go search for some embossed stuff like that! The images really do stand out...but of course it has the perfect Jessica touch of coloring them! ;)
