Artistic Thanks

So sorry for missing a post yesterday.  It was finally time for us to get our taxes done and when we got home I still had a workshop box to open and sort.  I love going through all the goodies to see what everyone purchased.

PLUS, I still needed to make my thank you notes for the girls.

Here they are - fun and simple.

Recipe:

Tip Top Taupe - 6" x 3", scored and folded at 3"
Basic Black - 2 7/8" x 2 7/8"
Very Vanilla - 2 3/4" x 2 3/4"

Stamps: Awesomely Artistic, Endless Thanks
Ink:  Tip Top Taupe

I began by stamping the dragonfly, so that I knew it would fit within the flowers and leaves and then stamped the corners with the flowers / leaves stamps.  

The "thanks" is from Endless Thanks and is just such a pretty handwritten font.

Thank you for looking in today.  Have a Happy Saturday!  ~ Donna

Awesomely Artistic Thanks

Time for some Thank You cards.  We can all use "thank you" cards and so many people should use them way more often.  I can remember always taking the time to write a thank you note when I receive a gift for a birthday, holiday or for anything special that needed that little bit of thanks.

Today's card took a couple of renditions to get what I wanted, but I think I've got it now.

Recipe:
Whisper White Thick Cardstock  - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Watermelon Wonder - 5 1/4" x 4"
Whisper White - 5" x 3 3/4"

Ink:  Blushing Bride, Watermelon Wonder, Crumb Cake
Butterfly - Blushing Bride and Calypso Coral

My first round of photography, I realized I didn't add the pearls, so these pictures below are before adding the pearls.  What a difference it makes!

Yep, definitely needs the pearls! 

Thank you for looking in today!  Happy Monday!  (yep...  it's Monday again!) ~ Donna
