Customer Thank You Cards with Hydrangea Haven

Hello there! Today I am sharing the cards I made as a thank you gift for my April customers. I was super excited to see that it carried over into the new catalog. 

The layout is pretty simple, but I thought I'd share with you how I made the pretty patterned paper in the background. 

Don't mind the torn paper in the middle. I had already adhered the last card when I realized it would be easier to explain this if you could see them separate, so I "ripped" one apart for you. As you can see, the piece on the right is the vellum. I scribbled Dark Balmy Blue and Dark Highland Heather along the edge. I then dropped and splattered rubbing alcohol onto it and let it dry. I stamped the small flower cluster onto the Basic White Cardstock, and then layered the vellum over the top. I didn't worry about the middle of the piece as it would be covered completely by the large flower layers. Here they are layered together:

Isn't that pretty? To color the hydrangea, I first inked the stamp with Balmy Blue and then used a sponge dauber to add spots of Highland Heather. Each card I made came out a little bit different. I didn't put any sentiment on this card so they can use it for whatever occasion they may need. 

Dimensions for this piece:

• Card Base: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2
• Basic White and Vellum layer & inside panel: 5 1/4 x 4
• Small Balmy Blue layer: 4 1/4 x 3
• Small Basic White layer: 4 x 2 3/4

I hope you have enjoyed today's post. If you decide to place an order through my website, if your order is less than $150, please use the Host Code listed above (on the right), so I can send you an extra free goody. If your order is over $150 don't use the code as you get to pick out the goody yourself when you place your order. 

Till next time...

God's love and blessings!
