Thanks...for being there


I hope that you are all having a great Bank Holiday! It's lovely at the moment here unlike this morning when it was quite grey & overcast. I don't often make Thank You cards, but I thought that the sentiment was a little different and could be used for a friend who had helped you through a difficult time etc. I 'borrowed' the layout and used paper from MME. I cut a large flower print panel and overlayed it with a smaller spot print. I added faux stitching to both panels. I adhered them to the card with foam tape. I added a red satin bow to the larger panel and a layered flower with fabric brad to the white panel which was cut from Dotted Bazzill and layered with red cardstock. I added gem swirls (using individual self-adhesive gems). The Thanks was cut from blue card, the 'T' cut off and replaced with a larger upper case 'T'- this improved the composition on the white panel. It was then glittered with glitter glue. I decorated the inside of the card with a bloom strip & sentiment.
Carts used:
White panel & red shadow- Ashlyn's Alphabet
Sentiment- Calligraphy Collection
Thanks for dropping by
