Today & Always, Thanks So Much!

This card is created with heartfelt gratitude, for so many people right now.  This card is a virtual way for me to thank others and to share a little "sunshine" to brighten what seems to be our darkest days.  This card is my way of saying "Thanks So Much" to all of you and it is filled with many blessings of brighter days ahead.  This is my "sunshine" to all of you.

I used Soft Suede for the card base with a touch of the Subtle 3D Embossing folder to the top fold.  I added layers of Early Espresso Cardstock and Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper to add texture and variations of neutral tones to the card front.

The Daffodil Delight and Whisper White Cardstock gave it the pop of color I needed to brighten up the card to add "sunshine".  By tearing the edges of the layers, it gives it a rustic country feel, which for me is soothing to the sole.  

The Inspiring Iris floral distinktive images are stamped in Daffodil Delight & Granny Apple Green Inks.   I decided to stamp the images without the 2-step outline stamps to give it a softer look.  By adding some Soft Suede splatter with my Aqua-painter, to the Whisper White layer, it added to the rustic feel of this card.

The sentiment "Thanks So Much" comes from the Wonderful Moments stamp set.  I created the banner using a 1/2" x 3" piece of Whisper White Cardstock and tore off each end of the banner.  I  sponged Soft Suede around the edges, and added a single strand of the Braided Burlap Trim around the end to complement the Trim under the floral image piece, and then accented with a Gold Designer Element.  

Today & Always, it is so important to show gratitude towards others, and to continuously be grateful.

I hope that you find this card inspiring.

Thank you for stopping by.

Be Well & Happy Stamping!
