Less is more

My goal this year for my cards is to find a way to add just enough layer and dimension that the card is interesting without popping the postage.  I used two layers to my card blank, the two top layers have a band of ribbon wrapped around them.  This satisfies the tactile, and then used some heaving drop shadows on my images.  The images are from Viva's "Confuscus Say" kit.  Since most of my work this year has been getting my PhotoShop skills up, this goal has sort of taken back burner, but still think about it and experiment here and there.  This card will fit into a 6 1/2"X 4 3/4" envelope which is the largest envelope that will mail at 46cents.
Happy Friday and have a fun and safe weekend. Hugs

Great idea. Have they increased the postage on a 5x7 card? I mail 5x7 for regular postage as long as it is not too thick or I pay 20 cents extra if I encase it in plastic. I had better see the new changes. ~Diane

Fabulous card and sentiment. Obviously I struggle with the postage issues which is why none of my stuff ever makes it to the PO. LOL Not funny, really but...
