Thank you

Happy nearly New Years! 

I hope you all had a great Christmas with lots of crafty goodies under the tree :-)

My card today is for the inevitable endless task that always comes after Christmas-the Thank You card. Ever the bane of my childhood,stamping these make things so much more fun ;-)

I used the glorious Flourishes Italian Garden set for this card,stamped onto watercolour paper with archival ink which I heat set. You might need a magnifying glass to paint in some of the leaves on the Rosemary bush! But it looks just gorgeous when watercoloured,don't you think?  Grab your Flourishes sets while you can when the shop re-opens,as they are stopping their wholesale programme,so will only be available from Make The Day Special in limited quantities! 

The sentiment comes from the ultra useful Paper Smooches Salutations set.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thank You!

Hi there!
I am still on a theme of 'Thank You' this week! This time I used the 'Thank You' set by Flourishes available from Emily here

Here is a page in my mini Journal...not sure if it needs anything else.....I created the background using paints, a stencil and Gesso. I wrote the words with black ink. When I  was making my ATC my Journal was open and I just thought that this flower looked very gentle and went with the words. I stamped it with Versafine and clear embossed and coloured with ProMarkers.

I was going to make a mask to use on this...but couldn't find my Post It notes!!! So I just stamped and embossed the flower and then stamped the background stamp with VersaMark and clear embossed. I coloured the background with the Adirondak inks I had out on my desk.. and water splattered! I coloured the flower with ProMarkers and they have taken on a slightly different colour over the inks, which I was quite pleased with! I stamped and embossed the sentiment and edged it with Gld embossing.

Thanks for looking, I hope you have a good Monday and I'll see you soon.

She xx
