THANK YOU CARD

I REALLY LOVE THE "ART NOUVEAU" CARTRIDGE...I THINK THE IMAGES ON IT ARE BEAUTIFUL AND CAN BE USED FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN.

And because of this...I did indeed attempt to make a "masculine" thank you card.  I hope...with fingers crossed.

I will be entering this card into the "Garden" challenge at heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.com .




Busy little bee


For this card I used the following cartridge and measurements.  Art Nouveau-Sunflower (pg 36), cut at 6 1/2 inches and the bee (pg56), cut at 2 1/2 inches.


Like the dragonfly on the previous post...I used vellum on the bees wings.  I really love the look this gives, I also inked his body parts with brown and placed him on a pop dots.

The sunflower is pretty straight forward...but I did use a textured wausau paper for the leaves and embossed the center of the flower with the "Swiss Dots" embossing folder.

This was all placed atop of a 4" x 5"  mat,  then finished off with the sentiment inked onto vellum and adhered with a glue dot

Again, thanks for stopping by and having a look.  Kathie.
