I was browsing eBay, and I found a wonderful embellishment set by K & Company.  The line is called Que Sera Sera (which is from The Sound of Music as my dad informed me), but it has an old-world, fantasy, Latin feel to it.  It is so much fun to work with, and I hope to have the entire collection from the Que Sera Sera line soon.  I made several ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) for scrapbook.com's Anything Goes ATC Swap #2, and they were so much fun to make.  With such a fantastic line from K & Company to work with, they were anything but complicated even though they look like they took hours.  Each one took less than one hour.  Here's what I created: "Que Sera Sera!"
"Que Sera Sera!"
"Explore Life"
 "Imagine"
"Imagine" "Brighten"
"Brighten"
I realized that all it takes to really take a card from ordinary to extraordinary can be going outside the lines -- literally.  The rectangular shape becomes unique and organic by letting cutouts flow over the edges.
Next up I show you the steps I took in creating a new original Christmas card.  Stay tuned :)
