Two more Thank-you cards to share!

I told you last week about the Thank-you cards I was making for a customer. One of my good friend's mom ordered 20 Thank-you cards from me. I made 5 each of 4 different designs. She loved them all. I already shared two with you, and here are the rest of them. This first one was my favorite. If you remember yesterday's post, it is the same layout (told you I've been using it a lot lately, lol!).

I love the different tones of green used on this card with the pop of black. The stamps used are Eastern Blooms and Flight of the Butterfly. The dsp is from Haiku and some old olive print from the retired Bali Breeze pack. I added color to the branch with some olive seed beads.

This one uses a soft, pastel color pallet along with the stamped images from Embrace life. The layout came from a card in the SAB brochure (Sale-a-bration starts on Feb.1). I knew as soon as I saw it I had to use it. Both cards are SUO! Speaking of SU, let me say WOW! I did get my box of catties yesterday and spent the afternoon drooling over it. YIKES! The Designer Paper is going to kill me, I really love it all! The samples are gorgeous throughout the catalog-lots and lots of great ideas! And all the other accessories are just going to be so fun to work with!

Thanks for stopping by! I truly am grateful for all my online friends! You help make this all worth it!

Hugs,Lisa

Another color challenge...

This one is a little different. Well, it doesn't come from SCS. Kristina Werner has started posting a color inspiration challenge on her blog each week. She finds these amazing combos from different magazines and such. She also does this cool thing (she's very computer savvy) with the first 25 enteries, it's called the round up. Check it out Here is the source of inspiration.

Isn't it cool? The colors to use for the challenge are: Tempting turquoise, Taken with Teal, Old Olive, Choc. chip, close to cocoa and very vanilla. So, from this picutre I came up with the following card and I really do love how it came out. I told you yesterday that I had used the same layout on another card ( I know I have seen similar layouts, so the idea is not my own. Thanks to anyone who has used a similar layout that I'm sure I was inspired by). I used my Bali Breeze paper and my square punches and the Embrace Life stamp set. I stamped the branch image three times is three different colors and left one of the squares blank so I could include the sentiment. I did ink up the word seperatly so I could make it fit the 1 1/4 inch square.

What I love about this hobby is that you can be inspired by anything and everything!
