Well it's a month since my last post - can't believe how fast time flies - but I cleared away my crafty stuff from the Dining Room, so that we could use it over Christmas and have only just felt like getting it out again. So today I had to get a move on as it's the last day for the current Get Funky Challenge which has a 'Thank You' theme.
I've got a cold coming on and don't feel great so it's a quick card this time, no colouring which is unusual for me. I've used a Penny Black stamp that is one of my favourites, mainly because it's been used more than any other and I can find it without too much trouble. Instead of printing more paper I've made do with a piece left over from another project. It's definately by Funky Hand but I can't be sure which collection - possibly 'November Rain' from Craft The Year Away.
I created a Word document using different fonts to write 'Thank You', then printed this over the DP. Next I printed the sentiment directly on the card front in a bigger size, before stamping the flowers to look like they were growing out of the letters. A bit of decoupage then the same image inside and it was done.

Hi Lynn! Commenting is still playing up but at least I seem to be able to add something by hitting reply :)
DeleteI love, love, love this card - it's so clean and simply stunning at the same time! Very clever paper piecing on the flower - can I ask the name of the stamp please for my wish list? It's perfect for paper piecing and you've used it brilliantly.
Welcome to the snippets playground, hope you come back to play next week. You also have a new follower :)
