It's The Little Things

Hello!  I'm so glad you're here.  It's always a blessing to me when I learn who has been by to see my art.  So if you're here, I truly hope you will take the time to leave me a thought about my bright card.  My BFF bought me a huge bucket of bright double-head stamens in every color of the rainbow and beyond.  I hadn't used them yet, and they sat up in my cupboard until today when I was inspired to create a "bright" card.  I used lots of cheerful colors for sure....turquoise, hot pink, sunshine yellow, etc.  This should brighten someone's day for sure!

I used a mish mash of patterned papers and machine stitched them together.  The chipboard sentiment is form Echo Park This & That as is the journalling card underneath it.  I inked all the patterned papers with Tim Holtz Distress Inks (as I always tend to do).  Then, for the finishing touches....I added a width of brown seam binding and used that to tie a sweet bow topped with Pink Burlap String, lots of bright double-head stamens, Open Roses, and a few color coordinated stick pins.

Last night I received an email from a friend and she placed an order for Thank You cards.  Needless to say, the inside of this card says......(you guessed it) - Thank You!  Now I'm on a mission to finish all these thank you cards by Sunday evening when I see her.  It's kinda fun to post a card that I created just for fun (as opposed to my regularly scheduled Design Team posts) and I'm excited to be sharing my card in some fun challenges.

Again, I thank you for stopping by.  Have a blessed week, and please stop by again soon.  I'm truly grateful for your visits, your comments, and your valued input.
