I needed a quick pick me up note card for someone near & dear to my heart.
Accompanied by a KING SIZE candy bar, to keep the dementors at bay.
Supplies: Stamps – Hero Arts, paper – Doodlebug Designs Boos & Brews, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Stampin’ Up! Tempting Turquoise, inks – VersaFine Onyx Black, VersaMark, dies – Hero Arts (cup, swirl top), Lawn Fawn (stitched rectangle), embossing powders – Filigree Fine Art Powder clear, Stampin’ Up! Hologram Highlights.
This card has been running around in my head for at least a month. I put a new box of tissues into one of the bathrooms, and I loved the khaki, navy and white floral design on the box.
I got hung up on the solid floral images…do I have anything like that in my stamp collection???
Finally, I pulled out an old standby retired set from Stampin’ Up, Paint Prints.
Here is the inspiration:

I saw the colors for this month’s Essentials by Ellen August 2017 Pin Sights Challenge, and had to participate.
Here is the inspiration board:
I stamped my florals in Distress Inks, so the coverage is not solid – this was an intentional choice.
After the ink dried (I let it sit overnight – just because I could), I added the detail items to the flowers/leaves with 3 different color detail embossing powders.
Then, I die cut the word out of the floral background, and out of yellow card stock. I ultimately decided one extra layer was not enough, and cut another “Hello” out of tangerine card stock.
Here is a side view of the layers:
Thanks so much for stopping by!

I embossed several of this thank you stamp, all with different color embossing powders. I think the pink and green washi tapes go well with the verdigris sentiment.
