Masculine Thank You
Hello everyone. I have been busy these past few days. Closing out school and getting ready for summer takes so much out of me. I still have school things in my trunk...I will get them out one day. lol
With that said, my son selected a Pet Smart gift card for his teacher for the end of the year appreciation. Of course, I had to make a thank you card and this is what I created.
He wrote his own personal message on the inside. I really like the way it turned out. I attempted to create the look of several layers of print without adding bulk. I used a variety of Distress Stains and then over stamped with a script font. I jazzed up the bottom with the Martha Stewart Cherish border punch and inked all of the edges with Vintage Photo. The ribbon is American Crafts. Hope you enjoy it and that it gives you ideas for crafting your own slimline cards.
This creation has definitely been inked with a lot of love. One thing led to another and I created several others along this same line and wanted to see how much I could make each unique. Will share those in another post.
Until then.
so much fun Vee....dont you just love getting out the inks, stamps and playing!! I really like this card and right now I am loving the single/less fussy cards. Thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tee. I know that layers is the thing, but I continue to struggle with that. I could make 7 cards out of what most people use on one. I think I might do a slimline series. They are easy to do and you get to apply many of the techniques we have been learning. Yay!!!

ReplyDeleteHey Laura. Thanks. I have the others finished, just no sentiments attached, you know me. I am hoping I can photograph them tomorrow and post before the weekend.

Hi Vee,
ReplyDeleteI saw an online video you posted regarding a never-ending card; I looked through your montly/yearly lists and couldn't find one that you may have decorated. Do you have a picture of one that would help with ideas? And did you ever find the autor of the "Night Before Christmas"? It's great! Thanks for everything you've posted...you are so creative and so spiritual! Jan
Jan, I have not posted a decorated NEC but do have one...packed away I believe. Did not find the author to the poem either. Thanks for stopping by and saying hello. My To Do list is super long, but I have added this and will try my best to make it happen.
