I need to add to my thank-you card stash, so I made this card with a MFP hydrangea image and sentiment. I colored the flower with Copics, adding some speckles and splatters with lavender ink, some stickles to the flower centers, and a piece of purple twine. The edges were sponged and distressed, then I placed this on a smoky purple cardstock base.
I'm entering this into the following challenges:
MFP Stamp Challenge #17 - use the color purple as your main color.
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - anything goes.
Enjoy your day and thanks so much for stopping by!

A beautiful thank you card Carol, and the twine bow the perfect finishing touch.

ReplyDeleteThis is pretty. I really like that it is tied with real twine (you know instead of a imaginary twine.... lol, I mean a stamped version).
