Thank you Card with MFT and Concord & 9th

 

Today's card was inspired by MFT's Color Challenge 156.

Here I used the Concord & 9th Snowflakes Turnabout with Gina K inks.  I then die cut the MFT Thank You from the panel and popped it up with a few more die cuts underneath.  Quick and easy peasy!  This card was to share my appreciation to a neighbor that came by to help me move furniture.

Thank You Card with Altenew

For this card I used Altenew's Sweetest Peas stamp set.

Stamped with flowers with Hero Arts Intense Black and then colored them with Copics in V01, V06, YG25 and YG17.  After I finished coloring, I went over the image with a black marker and then added a shadow with C1.  Then I decided it needed some sparkle.  I couldn't find my Wink of Stella since almost everything is currently boxed up for an impeding house move, but I did have a Sakura Stardust Gelly Roll pen that laid down a nice thick layer of glitter!

Thanks for looking today!

Thank You Card with Hero Arts

My sister gave me a card kit from The Paper Crate for my birthday and once it arrived, I had to make her a card using the supplies.

I used the inks that came with the kit and did some blending to create the background.  I stamped the mouse from the December 2018 Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Kit separately and then colored it with my Copics.  The sentiment is from "Simply Said: Amazing" by Avery Elle.

Thank You Card with Hero Arts and Neat & Tangled

I don't feel like this was my best work, but still worth sharing.

I got some new Finetec watercolors that I had asked for for Christmas and I wanted to try them out.

I die cut a couple of pieces of navy and white cardstock with the Fancy Square from Studio Katia.  Then I stamped and heat embossed the jellyfish from the July 2016 Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit and the sentiment from "All My Heart" by Neat & Tangled.  I put on some colors using as little water as possible since I wasn't using watercolor paper and tada!

Thank You Card with Lawn Fawn

To show my appreciation to my grandparents for letting me stay in their guest room while I was visiting California, I made them this CAS card using the "Winter Village" stamp set from Lawn Fawn.

I stamped the images then colored them with Copics and die cut them.  I blended on some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide to my card base and then adhere my images with liquid glue.  To finish it off, I added a bit of Stickles in Diamond to the trees and the roof lines for some sparkle.

Thank You Card with Newton's Nook - 2018

I needed a thank you card for my boss so I pulled out my my brand new Altenew watercolors to give them a whirl.

First I die cut a panel of watercolor paper with a Kat Scrappiness Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle,  Then I stamped and heat embossed the palm tree from Newton's Nook "Paradise Palms" and the Mahalo sentiment from MFT's "Polynesian Paradise".  I did a wet on wet technique to add some background color then let it dry overnight.

Thank You with Avery Elle - 2017

A Distress Ink smooshed background and "Ellie" from Avery Elle colored with Copics.

The stitched rectangle frame is from Taylored Expressions.
