Last week I created a bunch of Thank You cards for a co-worker who recently lost her mother-in-law. I thought it might be nice to have some pretty cards to send to those special people who helped them during their difficult time. I had a friend come over and make a few as well! It is nice to have some stamping friends who can come lend a hand!
I decided to keep things simple and went with mostly mono-chromatic variations using the same stamps. It is a bit of a hodge podge of stamps from Magenta, Impression Obsession, Just for Fun, Hampton Arts, Inkadinkado, and Stampin' Up...I think that is all! Even though I REALLY wanted to add some buttons, brads, ribbons, etc., I refrained. I didn't want them to have to pay a fortune in postage and to have to use special envelopes to mail them!
Believe it or not, there was nary a Copic Marker used on these projects! I know...but I knew it would take too long to do all of the coloring, so I used good old fashioned ink pads for color (except for one where I colored the stamp with Memento markers).
I hope you enjoy the bounty! Below are close-ups of all of the cards and their variations.
Your cards are all so beautiful Melissa! I've flagged them to try to CASE for my card ministry group - just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks Monica! I enjoyed making them all. Super simple, but by doing the color variations, it made it easy to do multiples that could work for male/female recipients...or at least that is the intention!
