Thank You!

I made this Thank You card by welding images from Gypsy Wanderings, Gypsy Font and Tags, Bags, Boxes and more.  I outlined the front of the card by replacing the blade housing with the cricut markers.  It gives more emphasis on the butterfly, flower and Thank you.  In addition, I used Graphic 45 paper, Dew Drops, ribbon and a beautiful antique button pre-WWII.  There is so much detail in the button that just is not captured in the picture.  It has 4 delicate pressed flowers in the center which you cannot begin to even see in this photo.

I used the Color Box Paintbox Ocean breeze in a chalk ink to help the card pop. 

Inside the card is a beautiful coordinating print.  You can leave it or add a coordinating solid cardstock to write your personalized message.  The pictures do not do this justice!  It looks beautiful in hand!

I did need to use the little dental pick to get the small little pieces out.  Some of them wanted to stay for the delivery of the message.  I do not blame them because it makes it hard with all its beauty to send this thank you to another home. 

I hope that this inspires you to create something unique and all you! And as always, please comment on this post and let me know how this inspires you. 

Reflect!

First let me thank Bobbi Jo for selecting me to be a part of her Design Team. I am looking forward to sharing with all of you.  For the Design Team Call, we were asked to do a Beach themed project.
I live and grew up in a beach town in California so we spend a great deal of time at the beach. I selected the DCVW Linen Closet paper and cardstock from Joann's to get the muted blues and whites.

Closeups

I used A Child's Year for the little girl and umbrella cuts and shadows You will
find them on page 43 and I cut them at 4 inches. The shells, title and sand
dollars were cut from Life is A Beach. The Title words Reflect were cut at 2.92,
the shell border cut at 1.90, are from page 67. The sand dollars cut at 1.35 are
from page 66. I chalked the edges of the ACY cuts and the title. Thank you for
your comments and please let me know if you have any questions. Here is the link to the Gypsy file   Reflect
