Good Morning everyone, i hope you all had a good weekend. Today i am sharing some thank you cards i made for the lovely Christmas gifts i was given. This first one i made for my uncle. Blue card cut to a 5x6 cardblank, i then die cut the memory box circle burst in the middle. I used yellow spotty paper as the insert to act as the sun. Then die cut lots of seagulls and a sentiment from white. Side view so you can see the insert. *** Little cat thank you. Russet card cardbase. I then stamped and coloured the zinski cat with inktense pencils, i then added a pale sky and grass with watercolour. Die cut with cross stitch rectangle die. Glitter glue to finish *** Little 3x4" thank you made from leftovers. I used the dienamics border die on the front, then die cut the flower into the front. I then backed with a left over peice of purple brusho card, also cut with the same angle die. I then die cut the flower overlay from orange brusho card. Greeting stamped in grey. I loved how this one came out in that the stripes are all little stripes of left over brusho card which i then stuck onto white card to make a new 'paper'. Only trouble is do i then keep all those little strips of paper now! Card made in much the same way as the one above. *** Now these next too came about completely from wanting to use up left over die cuts i amassed during last year. The only extra i added was the sentiment. 4.5x5.5" white linen card blank. The inverted scallop square i gently inked in blue distress ink. I then used a scalloped border die to cut the grass from a scrap of brusho card. The tree, flowers & rabbits had also been cut from brusho/pixie powder colour cardstock. and the same as the one above i just swapped the layout to the sentiment above the topper square. *** 4x4" card base, die cut into a octogan. This one came about again after finding the die cut viola and octogan in my left overs draw. Again all coloured with brusho/pixie powder mix. I added extra the hello and little butterfly. Gems to finish.
