I recently made several “Thank You” cards for my sister. I made her several different cards and over the next few blog posts, I will be posting them. Some are similar but each are a little different.

This first card I did some stamping, heat embossing, die cutting and ink blending.

• For my background, I first cut my panel using Master Layouts #1 from Gina K.
• I stamped Hero Arts Script Stencil in Blue Lagoon ink.
• After stamping my background, I went over the background with some Vintage Photo Distress Ink to give the background more of a “vintage” look.
• I added my panel to a black mat, also die cut using Master Layouts #1.

• For my focal image, I used Pinkfres Studio’s Cosmos Bunch.
• I first stamped the image in VersaMark ink and heat embossed it using some gold embossing powder.
• My next step was to color the image using the corresponding stencils. This is a layering stencil set so you can add different colors to different sections of the image.
• Once I had my image colored, I used the matching die to die cut the image. I also cut two additional images from white cardstock to add to the back of my image so I could pop it up.

My sentiment is die cut from some mirror paper I had in my stash. I did add a couple of die cuts behind the sentiment to pop it up from the shadow.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
