Thanks

Here’s my card for this week’s My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club sketch challenge. I used one of my Pure Innocence sets to make a thank you card to give to my colleagues for the generous going-away gift they gave me yesterday.

I colored the girl image from the It’s a Sign set using Copic markers, then used white embossing powder to heat emboss the word “thanks” on the chalkboard part of the image. I accented the panel with a piece of a fishtail flag strip dotted with a single shiny silver brad.

I’m still working on using up some older patterned papers, so I paired two different patterns from a Simple Stories paper pad on the cardfront. I used a pretty floral pattern to cover most of the aqua card base, then added an aqua gingham strip on top. Before adhering the image panel, I attached a long fishtail flag strip to the edge of the gingham paper for a final pop of color.

Materials Used:
Pure Innocence It’s a Sign stamp set, Whip Cream ink, Die-namics Fishtail Flag Stax dies (My Favorite Things); Memento Tuxedo Black ink (Tsukineko); markers (Copic); white cardstock (Taylored Expressions); Melon Mambo cardstock (Stampin’ Up!); Lakeshore cardstock (WPlus9); Fabulous 6x6 paper pad (Simple Stories); white embossing powder (Michaels); silver brad (Joann); foam tape
