For our Fussy and Fancy "Spring Colours" blog hop and HUGE candy giveaway...chance to win on every blog...please go HERE!!
Today we start May's month long "Choose Your Challenge" here at Fresh Brewed Designs Challenge Blog!!
I will be working with the photo inspiration as I am on the photo team...
For me this photo says a nice meal outside on a sunny deck or maybe it's picnic time...although the way that our weather is behaving we would have to have heavy jackets on or rain gear...LOL!!! I don't think that Mother Nature realizes that we had our quota of precipitation this winter!!!
Any way lets dream of warm weather...sunny days and being outdoors in summer gear!!!
I decided that I should create a stock of "Thank You" cards and the image that I used from Fresh Brewed Designs (Flowers, Hot Air Balloons and MORE!!! Miscellaneous section) is perfect for this type of card!!!
Here is what I came up with...
I dusted off my Prismas for this one...
distressed edges of the oval matt, inked with Ranger's Victorian Rose and added a bit of Shabby Pink Frantage...
I used a Martha Stewart edge punch to decorate the one edge...
the "Thank You" sentiment is from Hero Arts...
this is "Blossoms and Butterflies" from Fresh Brewed Designs ...
isn't it perfect for a "Thank You" card...
I decorated a crown teardrop pin with two beads, butterfly charm and pink and blue seaming binding...
the inside...
I hand drew two stacked tea cups and made a couple of gray napkins...
the sentiment is from Hero Arts...
Well that is the first of my "Thank You" card stash!!
So hop on over to the Fresh Brewed Designs Challenge Blog and check out my teamies takes on the newest month long "Choose Your Challenge"...then get busy and CREATE for us!!!
