Thank you - Craftaholics R Us-43

Wednesday November 1, 2017

 

Well as of today.. I have been retired one year.. I have loved all 365 days of it and looking forward to many many more years..

 

It's time for another challenge at Craftaholics R Us #43 

 and the Green team has chosen 

 THANK YOU as the theme.

 

 

This was fun to create.. I took some dark navy blue card stock 4.25 x 5.5 and using a Paper Trey Ink stamp I stamped the border over the blue paper.. with it being so hard to see using Versa Mark (the other side is really bad. I tried to butt them next to each other) I left a gap and figured I would fix it somehow when I was done.. I then used silver embossing powder from Stampin Up and heat embossed. Well that blue gap didn't look very good so I took my Kuretake White Gold paint and painted the strip between the stamp design. I liked it. I then stamped on Vellum the Thank you from PTI and heat embossed with Black from stampin up.. I added some half pearls and added the completed card from to a white card base. This is really pretty in real life.  I hope I have inspired you to grab a thank you, thanks a bunch, so thankful for you.. I know there are more sentiments that will work.. Just have fun and play along.
