Many Thanks
Here's a super quick thank you card for the current Paper Smooches Sparks challenge. The inspiration photo provided featured text in a mix of bold colors with a little bit of gray thrown in, so I made those elements the dominant features in my card.
I used one stamp--many thanks--from the Word Salad set, inking it up multiple times with multiple inks to get the stacked line of "thanks." The shape of the Memento dew drop ink pads made this easy to do. I started with the red at the bottom and worked my way up in "rainbow" order.
The word "many" was stamped twice in gray ink along the "thanks" images. To visually separate the two words, I made a teeny, tiny dot between them with a gray marker. The panel is set on a gray mat, then on a white card base. So fun and easy to make a quick bunch of, too!
Materials Used:
from i {heart} papers: Paper Smooches Word Salad stamp set, Tsukineko Memento Lady Bug, Tangelo, Dandelion, Pear Tart, Bahama Blue, and London Fog inks
other: Basic Gray cardstock (Stampin' Up!); white cardstock (Xerox)
