Are you a user or a hoarder? When you buy something pretty for your papercrafting, do you save it for a special occasion, or do you use it with abandon? Sigh...I'm a bit of a hoarder, save it for a special occasion type of crafter. Silly really, because I should be spreading the gorgeousness! The card that has inspired this pondering was a commission for a friend. She wanted a thank you card, but one that had a really positive message, for a friend that was helping them through a really tough situation.
I found the quote on the internet and printed it onto Very Vanilla Cardstock. I used one of my new Apothecary Accents Framelits to cut around it. The Vanilla looked a little stark, so I stamped over the top with the flourish from Creative Elements and Crumb Cake ink. It didn't look quite finished, so I used my Crumb Cake marker to colour the areas of the flourish that weren't covered with text. I was quite pleased with how it turned out.
I kept the inside quite simple so that she had plenty of room to write a heartfelt message to the recipient. The Mocha Morning SDSP was perfect for this card. I used a flocked piece to add to the luxury of the card. I really should have made better use of this SDSP before it retires!
