April 28, 2023

Hello, crafty friends! I hope you're having a great day! Today, I am sharing with you a quick and simple thank you card.

Supplies:

Cardstock Warehouse Papers:

White Frost Colorplan 100lb
Quartz Stardream Metallic
Gold Mirror
Black Mirror
Gumdrop Green Pop-Tone 100lb

Glue
Inks

Distress Oxide Vintage Photo (brown)
Distress Oxide Mustard Seed (dark yellow)
Distress Oxide Hickory Smoke (grey)
Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry (magenta)

Blending Brush
Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers Magnolia Die
Honey Bee Stamps Thanks Buzzword Die
Spellbinders Knock on Wood Embossing Folder

First, I used Spellbinders Knock on Wood embossing folder to emboss the White Frost cardstock. Using a blending brush, I then applied Distress Oxide Vintage Photo with a blending brush. You can use this blending technique using any embossed background and ink color. This is a great way to add dimension to your cards!

Next, I lightly brushed Distress Oxide Hickory Smoke on the embossed panel.

Next, I used Honey Bee Stamps Magnolia die to cut the flower layers from White Frost cardstock. I then applied Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry to the layers to make them a pink ombre. I also used Mustard Seed ink to make the yellow center of my flower.

Next, I adhered the wood embossed panel to a pre-cut A2 size Quartz Metallic card base. (4.25in x 5.5in when folded) I love the shimmer of the Quartz paper and its so easy to make cards with Cardstock Warehouse's pre-cut card bases.

Once the panel is adhered, I then adhered a smaller panel to the card front. I used Gold mirror cardstock and lightly brushed Vintage Photo on the smaller White Frost panel.

Next, I adhered the flower and the sentiment to the card front. I used Black Mirror cardstock to die cut the Thanks sentiment. Mirror paper is perfect for bold sentiments!

Using a MISTI stamping tool, I used black ink to stamp the remainder of the sentiment.

To add a final touch to the card, I added gold pearl embellishments and I used Distress Oxides Mustard Seed to add splatter to the center of the magnolia.
