Today's card demonstrates another possibility for card focals. Use pictures you have taken! This can make for a quick and easy card. Here's how I did it:
- Started with a blank purple swirl card from Hot Off the Press
- I cut a couple of purple strips for borders, one thin, one wider - each cut to the width of the card. I cut another out of lighter purple a bit thinner than the wide one and using a deckle-edge cutter. I glued this to the center of the wider border.
- I then wrapped 1/8" purple satin ribbon around the wide border - at both top and bottom as shown, fixing it with tape in the back. I added the purple ribbon in the center of the narrow border in the same way.
- I cut the picture so there was a thin white border around it, then mounted it on a white cardstock rectangle, which was then mounted on a purple one. I added a purple ribbon near the bottom of this, adhering in the back with tape as before.
- Now all I had to do was glue the pieces to the card as shown in the picture, and then write my greetings with a purple pen (I used a Sakura glaze pen).

I didn't know PW had cards with the swirly design. I have several papers in one of my HOTP paper packs with different color combinations for that paint-swirly look. (I love them because they remind me of my pre-teen years in the early 70s.!!!!)
