thanks notecard gift set

'thanks' notecard gift set
I love this flower stamp from Hero Arts, which is both graphic and yet pretty .... in this series of 3 cards, I had white-embossed the flower prints in different positions, then coloured the background for each of the cards with Distress Inks - barn door red, mowed lawn green and vintage photo brown, and finally stamped the flower print again but this time in Versafine vintage sepia.

The sentiment 'thanks' was gold-embossed onto vellum and affixed to the card front. A couple of pearls affixed to the centre of some of the flowers was the finishing touch.

I wanted to use this series of cards as part of a gift note-card set... so I created a holder for the cards, the note-paper and envelopes.

The same flower stamp was used for the card-holder but this time, stamped in Versafine toffee (brown) and spanish moss (green). On the inside of the holder, a little pouch was created to hold the cards, note paper and envelopes.

This was such a fun project ... I am tempted to do a couple more of such gift sets for Christmas!

The colour scheme for these cards was inspired by Just Add Ink Challenge #215 - colour combination
