If you are like me then you have a few thank you notes to write to those who gave you gifts over the holidays. I am over Christmas colors and wanted to do something fresh and different. Let's see where my mojo took me…
For this card I used Stampin' Up! Whisper White Notecards and Envelopes (131527) they measure 5" x 3 1/2", perfect thank you note size. Then I took one of the stamps from the Petal Parade* stamp set and stamped it three times lining it up with my Stamp-a-ma-jig (101049). I used three purple family ink pads – starting with Wisteria Wonder, then Perfect Plum, and finally Elegant Eggplant.
Then I wanted to add some green as I love green and purple together. I made the feathered leaves with my Large Oval Punch (119855) and my Paper Snips (103579). A couple of Mini Glue Dots (103683) and a silver ribbon bow anchors them.
The sentiment came from Another Thank You Photopolymer stamp set (133454). I masked the hearts under the thank you and stamped the image in Old Olive. Using my Large Oval Punch (119855) again I punched it out and adhered with Stampin Dimensionals to add balance and depth.
I am pleased with the result.
Yesterday I got all my Christmas decorations down, packed up and put away. It is always such a wonderful feeling when it is all put away and the house looks bigger and so much better with less "stuff" all around. We also said good-bye to our oldest who headed back to the University of Florida for Spring semester which starts tomorrow.
What did you do this first weekend of the new year? I would love to hear from you.
Cheers,
Michelle
