Wow, what a couple of beautiful spring days we have had here in SE PA!! Absolutely gorgeous! I am filled with gratitude for them…..and my customers! Here are a couple of “gratitude” cards I made for them! The first one uses the colors from Create with Connie & Mary:
and the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch, which I turned on its side:
and here’s my card:
I wanted to use some retiring sets, in this case, Nature Walk, along with the This & That Epic Day DP, which has the perfect colors for the challenge! It also uses a retiring die, Two Tags…..SO SAD that is retiring! I love that die!
The second one uses a sketch from the Deconstructed Sketch:
as well as the Inspired By photo inspiration:
Another one of the papers from the Epic Day line had these same colors! I added a a rose from Papaya Collage and some buttons:
I even overstamped the rose in Very Vanilla ink with the Linen background stamp to give it a more subtle look:
The banner was stamped on the same DP in Wild Wasabi….I am really liking that look!
So there you go….two fairly simple cards, ready to be sent out to my customers! And here are a couple of pix of Cassidy….she had on NEON pink sneakers yesterday….the photos just don’t do them justice! She was pumped!
Thanks for visiting today!
Love the cards today! What a great idea to stamp over with the vanilla! I have got to get me some of that Epic day paper.
