Thank you

My friend Gladys is a talented scrapbooker, and she has shown me a few of her paper-crafting tricks. I'm still pretty new to card-making, but I really enjoy being able to give someone a hand-made card. Here's a thank-you card I just made:




And the inside:




This isn't my best work ever, but I think it turned out pretty well. Besides, if it looks too good, you can't tell it was made by hand!

I took a light blue card from Paper Source and used a medium-sized stamp, stamping it several times, to get an all-over pattern on the front of the card in dark brown ink. I filled in the holes with a small bird stamp and a small flower stamp from the same collection using the same color ink. I like how the stamps run off the edges of the card, so the design likes like a section from an even bigger pattern. The inside features a "thank you" stamp in the same brown ink.

I enjoyed making this little card; I hope the recipient likes it!
