Well I finally did it! I got my January Thank you Cards done. Orders expected today so the push was on and I hate deadlines!
Soooo, I threw out all my ideas and decided to kick it Old School! I went to my IBC to look up a layout I liked. It was done much smaller and the whole card didn't show but I liked the idea so off to the Craft Room I go.
Well I dragged out a whole lot of product and then I put most of it back. I kept out a couple of items that I felt I could use and this is what I came up with -
Ok Looking good! Draft one or is it two? I used Kindness Matters for my focal image and Flowering Flourishes for the background stamping. I also used Loving Thoughts for the greeting, apropos don't you think?
Then of course I had to over think it and wondered what it would look like this way -
I liked it even more. I used the new Illuminations watermark stamp pad and I have to say it shows up on Very Vanilla way better than on Whisper White. It adds sort of a Mother of Pearl shine to the card stock.
What do you think? Which one do you like better? Leave a comment I would love to know!
