Merci Gift Cards, part 1

This has been a very busy week for me in my "real life" (i.e. the life I have to live when I am NOT stamping or being crafty!)  I work for a global company, and this week we had some very important 'higher ups' visiting.  One such person has become a good friend to me - and I wanted to thank her in a special way.

As it turns out - she is from France and I just HAPPEN to have a "Merci" stamp in my arsenal...funny how that works out right?

So I made a set of thank you cards for her - and these are the first four that I made.  (stay tuned for the second half!)

Thanks for stopping by!

MIM #64 - Using Color Inspiration

Hello-

It's been awhile, but today I am participating in this week's Make it Monday - Using Color Inspiration.

This is the color palette I chose (how could I not? Winter Wisteria was my wedding color!)

...and here is my card... just in time for Mother's Day!

I used Ocean Tides as my card base, and stamped the frame directly onto the patterned paper - using Ocean Tides ink.  The sentiment was stamped using Smokey Shadow and Winter Wisteria ink.  The flowers were also stamped using Winter Wisteria, and the leaves are Simply Chartreuse.  A few white pearls finish it off :-)

Thanks for stopping by!
