thank you again

All I have to share with you today is a couple more of the little 4" square thank you notes that I've been making. I did manage to colour a couple of images but haven't been able to put anything together with them yet .. ..

On the first card I used the sketch on the Less is More blog challenge but must admit I'm not feeling great about my creation, there's no pretty coloured image and my stamped thank you has blurred - bother! Not too many details to give you about it, the paper is a scrap from a magazine matted with lilac card, the ribbon is ancient from my stash, the flowers are a mix of Marianne diecuts for the green layer, punched lilac, glittered fabric then a white pearl on top. I've fixed them to the lilac panel with 3d foam to give a little more interest.

I'm happier with this one. I've embossed the front of the card with a Cuttlebug folder then inked the edges with Tea Leaves Versamagic chalk ink. Used the same ink to stamp the Hero Arts text and matted with green cardstock, cut a Marianne swirl then added the sparkly gem flowers with little pearls in the centres. Crafty Creations are looking for thank you creations this week so I'll enter this one with them.

  10. You can easily sort out the blurred sentiment by doing one on another piece of card, and mounting it over the blurred one... easy peasy!
    It's a lovely card too!
    Thanks so much for joining us.

  11. The colours are lovely in both & I particularly like your ribbon with those striking flowers in the first - but yes, the second is my favourite.
