Thank You

Hi crafty friends, Julianne here sharing a HUGE thank you card that I made for Vanessa. I have had so much fun designing for Butterfly Reflections, Ink these passed couple months and I am truly blessed to have had this opportunity. I hope that you found inspiration in my posts over the past couple months from not only me but the other amazing design team members. For my card today I used Altenew Hope Stamp Set and the Altenew Build-a-Flower: Chrysanthemum Stamp, I have never used a layering stamp set before but I loved the results. 

If you haven't tried these stamps before from any company, I would definitely say try. The results are just beautiful and not having to color was AMAZING! I used a bunch of different Catherine Pooler Inks for my card, a list is below:

Limoncello, Tiara, Tiki Torch, Orange Twist, Sweet Sixteen, Pixie Dust, Flirty Fuchsia, Grape Crush, It's a Girl, Be Mine, Party Dress, Samba, It's a Boy, Something Borrowed, All That Jazz, Suede Shoes, Mint to Be, Aquatini, Mardi Gras, All that Jazz, Garden Party, Lime Rickey, Grass Skirt, Over Coffee, Icing on the Cake

I originally was just going to do a bunch of yellow flowers but I decided I wanted a rainbow of colors, so for both flowers I did one of each color. I have to say the purple and yellow combinations were my favorite! Once I had all the flowers and leaves stamped I used the coordinating dies to cut them all out. I laid out all the different flowers on my card base to figure out placement before adhering with liquid adhesive. For this card since the flower images are big I went with a 5 x 7 card base, my leaves and flowers do go over the edge but that doesn't bother me (you could always cut them along the edge in order to fit into an envelope). I'm hoping she will display this in the store so I really like the effect of all the leaves and flowers expanding passed the card. 

I wanted to use a big bold sentiment to show Vanessa just how amazing she is, so I went with the Catherine Pooler Wonderful Sentiment Die die cut in black glitter cardstock so that it would stand out. Finally adding a sentiment above it and black sequins around the card to finish it all off. 

Thank you all so much for stopping by each week to check out my cards, I am truly grateful not only to Vanessa but for all of you and your support. I hope you have found inspiration from my cards and don't forget to tag me on IG @juliannefoyil so I can see what you all create, Happy Crafting!
