A thank you card


Beginning to feel a bit better and had a lovely time putting this thank you card together for the challenge on http://stampchallenges.blogspot.com/.

It was only when I came online to add it to my blog that I realised I was supposed to 'Stamp something' -so sorry - my head is so fuzzy from this summer cold. I will make amends by stamping the words inside the card.


The floral card is by Kanban and is double sided which meant that I could punch the flowers out of the scraps left from my A4 sheet. I used the trick of rolling the wooden handle end of my pricking tool on the centre of my flowers in the palm of my hand just to give them a bit of dimension. I also added a gemstone to the centre of each of the big flowers. The purple gems were in a pack of Hero Arts clear stamps I got from http://www.thebargaingarden.net/index.html. How good is that? Clear stamps and bling in one packet - heaven!!!
