Every card has a story…in my mini craft room clean up from a few weeks ago, I came across an ivory card with stamped pears. The ivory had some ink smudges, so I cut the panel down. I also stamped "thank you" in a dark green ink that actually matches quite well in real life (it looks almost black in my photo.) See resized panel below:
I wanted to bring out the green in the pears as well as the frosted shadow pears, and I decided to use my Tim Holtz kraft core card stock. I thought the kraft core would compliment the orange and copper base card stock. I embossed the kraft core piece and sanded it with my sanding block…look, so pretty! Almost a shame to cover it up:
However I needed a quick thank you card for a belated birthday gift I received last weekend, so I added a little banner from my orange color scraps drawer and glued it all together:
Not a bad up cycle if I do say so myself :)
Happy Friday!
