Thank You!!

Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything, but I think it was worth the wait. I made this card for 2 GREAT people, not naming any names but you know who you are :)


To make this card I used the Intrigue set from Clear Artistic Stamps and the sentiment is from the I'm Just Saying set. I just love that flower. Isn't it pretty. Other supplies I used were: Razzleberry Pack from Prism, Shimmerz and Blingz, photo corners, glitter gel pens (on the dragonfly only), and 1/8 inch 3-D dots.


I stamped 2 images, one on the card and the other on a separate piece of cardstock. I painted the flower images with the Shimmerz color Burgundy and the leaves have 2 coats of the Blingz color Wintergreen. I have to say that I love how shimmery and sparkly these paints are, and so easy to use. Be sure to click on the pictures to get the full shimmery effect. While waiting for the paint to dry (not very long) I used the glitter gel pens and colored the dragonfly that accompanies the Thank You sentiment. With the paint dry, I cut out the image from the separate piece of cardstock leaving a little white border around the edges.

I used 2 of the 3-D dots to place the image on top of the card image giving it the very pretty 3-D effect. Finally, I slid the photo corners onto the corners of the completed image and carefully placed it on the card.

It took me maybe an hour to make this card but only because of the painting that was done and since I had never used the Shimmerz and Blingz before I was taking my time so I could get it right on the first try. Guess what! I actually did!!

Hope everyone has a GREAT week!!!
