...thank you...


I back with another card for you... I love making thank you cards! This one is one of my faves...I love pink peonies (I just wish the blooms lasted longer in my garden!) and this digi image from Fred, She Said is so pretty. I also have one of just the bloom, but I haven't colored that one yet!

This card was inspired by a new challenge over at Copic Oz - the first challenge is to use your copics to color flowers! Well, I have plenty of flowers, so easy peesy right! I'm also playing at Picture Perfect Creations and using the Card Patterns sketch 75 for this one!

I started by coloring it with my copics and then had to decide on the papers. Well, I found this awesome K & Co. paper at M's that is already stitched and layered up with yummy dps. I couldn't resist!!! So, I can't take credit for any of this paper stitching but I will take credit for matching it up with my colored image! I really thought about a pink ruffly flower on this one, but I settled on the blue because I didn't want to compete with my peony. I wanted it to pop!

Challenges:
Copic Oz #1 - Flowers!
Card Patterns 75 - sketch
Picture Perfect Creations 24 - color combo

My Crafty Recipe:
Stamps: Fred, She Said Peony in Jar, setiment from MM card making stamps
