This second set of thank you cards for the Senior Life Resources Northwest used this lovely flower and leaves image from Clearly Besotted.
I stamped the image and sentiment on to a quarter sheet of Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored it with Copic Markers. Once the coloring was complete I stamped it again with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with gold. The image was then cut out using the coordinating die.
When I am creating white on white cards I like to add visual interest with dry embossing. I cut down a rectangle of white cardstock with a stitched rectangle and then ran it through the Big Shot with the Cuttlebug Oxford Embossing Folder. I had planned to stamp the sentiment onto the panel before embossing, which works well, but I forgot. Now I needed to figure out how to add the sentiment. I decided on using a Quickutz Nesting Frame die, but it was taller than I needed so I decided to glue the flower and leaves image to the top and love the way it turned out.
The embossed rectangle was added to a top folding cardbase with liquid glue. 3M 1/2″ Foam Tape was added to the back of the flower and sentiment panel and it was adhered to the front of the card.
