sarascloset: A Trio of Easy Thank You Cards

Wednesday, January 16, 2019

Sara Emily Barker https://sarascloset1.blogspot.com/2019/01/a-trio-of-easy-thank-you-cards.html Tim Holtz Sizzix Stitched Square Flurry 2 Ideaology Worn Wallpaper 1

Hello! I hope you are doing well! I've made three simple cards using up some of my Christmas leftovers and a sentiment from a set in my stash. I thought these Tim Holtz Christmas Worn Wallpapers made a fabulous backdrop for these simple cards. I even got a chance to use up some of the scraps left on my work top. This is my version of Clean and Simple.

The sentiment doesn't make a very clear image, but thankfully I used my Stamp Platform, so I was able to make multiple impressions on the Heavystock background. I inked in archival and then added some Distress Oxides and inks in vintage colors to the sentiment panels as well as the Wallpaper. I used Distress markers to add some highlights. The panels were cut with Stitched Squares dies and edged with Frayed Burlap ink.

I tucked in a Flurry 2 snowflake on two of them.

But decided I liked this one better without it. REALLY clean and simple!

This one was inked a second time in Versamark and heat embossed with clear powder. Below are some closeups of those winter landscapes.

Thank you for dropping by!
