with gratitude

with gratitude, a photo by eatzycath on Flickr.

a simple thank-you card based on the sketch for this week's

CAS(E) this sketch #39

* the outline of the flower petals were embossed in white, and the petals were then colored with Derwent Inktense water color pencils - love the brilliant effect of ink pigments on kraft-stock paper

* the stem and leaves were embossed in different shades of green embossing powder

* both the flower and stem/leaves stamps are from Penny Black's Round and Round stamp set

* the banner (from Paper Smooches - Streamers stamp set) was stamped and white embossed

* the sentiment (from Paper Smooches - Chit Chat stamp set) was stamped and yellow embossed

*** it's always good to take a step back and reflect on all who deserve a word of thanks for being part of our lives ***
