Thank You

With the end of the school year, Lynn who runs the school thought it would be a nice touch to say thank you to all the girls for making the first year of Sunflower House a success. What could I do that was a bit special but not complicated as I had 18 cards to do. So having had a scramble through my crafting shelves decided to rely on my trusty 'bug' and do some die cutting and embossing.

Using cream lustre cardstock made a DL card, made a mat the whole width of the card from gold lustre cardstock. Using offcuts of the cream lustre die cut three squares with the plain square nestabilities, embossing one, stamping thank you onto another with Mocha Truffle from Versacolor and leaving the third plain. Die cut two butterflies, one in cream and one in gold and embossed them, curling the wings, the cream in the opposite direction from the gold and attaching them together with foam pads and mounting them onto the plain cream square again with foam pads.

Thanks for popping by.

Thank You

This card was done for one of the girls that I work with at the school, who asked if I could make a thank you card for her. Thought I would do something quite simple and not overly fussy. I stamped the large tree from Kanban's Garden Vistas Spring Silhouettes using Mocha Truffle from Versacolor. On top of the stamped tree matted using foam pads at die cut topper from Kanban's Sundance Trees. For the sentiment stamped thank you on a scrap of cream flecked card using the Mocha Truffle ink pad and matting it onto a scrap of gold lustre card that I cut out using a scalloped rectangle from Nestabilities.

Thanks So Much and a Challenge

After having an excellent weekend with our friends in Ruwais over in Abu Dhabi, thought I would sent them a wee card to say thank you.

This week's challenge over at Funky Fairy, and which I have also entered, provided the inspiration. All the papers and images came from one of Funky Fairy's kits - Just a Bit. For the toppers, I reduced them down in size and included the sentiment before printing them off. Decoupaged the two leaves and the pink flower with foam pads. Used my latest purchase to do get the photo corners done, can see it becoming one that will be well used.
