Thank you

Good Morning everyone.  

 Today im sharing thank you cards i made to send to the lovely people who sent me a birthday gift

5x5" kraft card base.  I was given this fab aall&create frog stamp set so this is his first outing.  I dug out a gelli print background and layered onto my base card after adding some pond weed at the bottom with a stencil and oxide ink.  I stamped the frog onto a piece that was used as clear up in my gelli printing and is orange and pink neon acrylic paint.  I added some white pen details and glued to the base. I added a few pearls to finish.

Frog version 2.  5.5x5.5" white base card.  Another gelli print background in pinks & lilacs.

Items Used:

aall&create stamps 'ribbet ribbet'

lavinia stamps stencil 'pebble'

Triangular stencil

Pebeo acrylic paints

Daler rowney neon paint

and now something totally different, i was given this beautiful lace embossing folder which i have had on my wish list for quite a while  

A5 size.  My friends fav colour is purple so i found this lovely patterned paper in a 12x12 pad from the works.  I dug out a soft grey pearl cardstock for my base and to emboss, lightly inking the embossing with seedless preserves oxide ink. I cut a panel of the paper smaller than my base card and bigger than the embossed panel and die cut the thankyou die from the middle - this would be hidden, it just makes the paper go further!  I added both the paper and embossed panel to the base card offset so that you could see the paper.  

On an offcut of the grey pearl card i die cut thank you again and coloured it purple, i used this for a drop shadow on the paper thank you version and glued to the middle of the embossed panel.  From some of the patterned paper i cut out some of the flowers and arranged on the front.  Gold glitter glue accents to finish.

and version 2, a more tropical vibe, i used cream pearl this time, the photos don't show but embossing the pearl cardstock gives a lovely shimmer as the light hits the different levels in the embossing. 

Items Used:

Paper pad from the works 'watercolour feeling'

Thank you all for stopping by once again.  I hope you all have a good day.  Hugs Emmax
