Remarkable You Friendship card

I love to color. Whether it is with colored pencils, watercolors, or blender pens, just put a pen, pencil, or paintbrush in my hand and I am a happy camper! The card that I am showing you today, I used a blender pen and a puddle of ink in my inkpad lids to bring some lovely color to a beautiful Magnolia blossom. The stamp set that it comes from is called "Remarkable You" and it has some wonderful images for coloring. This one I used a kind of sketchy design to color it in, because my blender pen was not the most "moist". (It might be time to get some new ones! LOL!)

A Jar of Love and Thanks

Don't you love it when someone does something nice for you? You just want to give them a great big hug and a sincere "Thank You!". Well, having some cute thank you cards on hand sure helps to convey your feelings of gratitude to that person. That is what this card is all about. We recently had some friends help us out with something, and this is the card that I gave them.

All supplies from Stampin' Up!:

Stamp set: Jar of Love

Ink pads: Basic Gray, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry

Card stock: Whisper White Thick, Whisper White (regular), Daffodil Delight

Accessories: Big Shot, Everyday Jars Framelits, Classic Label Punch, (Retired DSP), Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Dimensionals

 Here is a close up of the flowers, so you can kind of see how I lifted one edge, but glued down the bottom edge. I wanted them to have a bit more dimension. I felt like it gave it more layers, but without too much bulk.

I hope we can all remember to express our gratitude to those around us who help us out each day. Not only will it maybe make people more willing to help others out, but I think it makes us feel good as well. 

And speaking of gratitude, I am thankful that you stopped by here today as well. I hope you enjoyed my card.

Thanks again,

Kathryn
