Hello all. I saw a
similar card on Split Coast Stampers that was for a baby and liked it so much that I adapted my own version into a thank you card for a new friend of mine. The background paper is torn bits of paper with the edges chalked and then
laid down and covered in
modge podge. The effect is even MORE stunning in person than the photo can ever do it justice. Just a warning, the
modge podge will add a considerable thickness to it so it will end up feeling more like handmade paper then the normal 20 lb weight, so, if you're going to mail this card, be sure to double check the weight. :P

Hello all! Happy Wednesday! I made this thank you card for a dear friend of mine who's very much into the Asian EVERYTHING! I took several millions of pictures of this card from all sorts of angles but I just couldn't get the coolness to really come out. First off, the background card is this very pretty pale fawn parchment (that totally looks white) and, secondly, the red that's the dragon is actually this really cool crayon treatment that I read about yesterday and just HAD to try! Oh, the tag that's brown is actually white paper that I colored by hand as well.
I was going through this damask phase when I designed this card for my daughter's second grade teacher at the end of the year. It's SO pretty! And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the colors! It's a little hard to see in the picture, but I shadowed the quote with a lime green version of it as well. It looks really cool in person.

I created these thank you cards to match the princess themed baby shower invitations for my best friend. Once again, her husband created and designed the image and I turned it into this card.
I made this card for my daughter's current teacher. She was nice enough to send all the kids in her class a postcard before school started welcoming them into the third grade and so, I thought I would make her a thank you card to show how much she loved it (she still has it in a place of honor in her room). LOL. So cute!
