CR84FN69 - Thank You ....

..... Hi, it's week two for CR84FN69 with our lovely colours of raspberry, lavender and a neutral.  I almost didn't make this card - we've had a long holiday and I completely lost track of time!!  After Christmas and the New Year, we all need Thank You cards, so that's what I've made.


Stamps:  CAS-ual Friday - Truth Is, Big Thanks
Inks: Distress - Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord; Memento - Tuxedo Black
Dies: Spellbinders - Pinking Circles Sm (S4-172) #5
Accessories: Papermania DP - Creative Tones Raspberry; Staedler - Aquarelle Pencils; Organza ribbon and card from stash

This card came together really quickly.  Some pretty paper for the background, a simple square of raspberry card onto which I stamped thank you around the edges and the main focal image of pretty flowers.  I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to position the sentiments.  I stamped the flowers onto white card, cut them out with the pinking circle and inked the edges while in the die.  I coloured the flowers with my Aquarelle pencils and adhered them with dimensional tape.

I'm submitting this card to the following challenges:




You might be wondering how this fits with the CASology cue word NEW - well the stamps I used are new and just lovely too!  And I've obviously gone for the square sketch from Mojo Monday!!  Here's a close up of the pretty flowers - so pleased how they turned out!

For more inspiration with our fabulous colours from the team - click on the links in my sidebar or visit the CR84FN blog.  Before I go I must welcome Lisa Snowdy of Adventures in Paperland as our Guest Designer for January - so glad to have you join the team.

That's all for now - looking forward to seeing more of your lovely projects with these fab colours!!  See you soon.

    Pretty!!! Love the softness that the sponging did for the flower panel. And an excellent job on the stamping around the edges!

    I never would have thought of using a stamp that was "new" to me for the cue card. So clever. Thanks for joining in on the fun at CASology this week!
