Pressed Flower Thank You Cards

Hello! Today, I have a set of 3 Thank You cards, all made with mostly the same elements, but mixed up just a bit. I used Melanie's new stamp set, Pressed Flowers and the branch from Hang In There. Moxie Fab is having and Olympic Challenge this week and I'm entering this set into the Thank You category for that contest.

These are very simple cards, so I only have a few photos. To start, I cut a piece of Pure Luxury White cardstock to 2 inches square. Then I used Post-it Notes to mask off a narrow border on all four sides, and sponged Memento Cantaloupe ink.

Next, I inked up the flower, from Pressed Flowers, with Memento Cantaloupe ink, then Used my Tangelo Memento Marker to added some ink to the petals, in the center and along the outside edges. I also used the Tangelo, along with Potter's Clay to add some color to the flower center. I huffed on the stamp before stamping, keeping the flower off center somewhat.

I repeated the same process for the other two flowers. Then I layered the square with Pure Luxury Chocolate Kiss, SU Creamy Caramel and SU Apricot Appeal.

On this card, I stamped the branch from Hang In There, on a Creamy Caramel card base, using Memento Rich Cocoa ink and put the flower image at an angle. The sentiment is from Tech Talk and stamped in Rich Cocoa. By putting the sentiment at an angle, too, the card works either vertically, like I've shown here, or turned on it's side.

On this card, I used a Pure Luxury Chocolate Kiss card base and stamped the branches in white pigment ink. the sentiment (from Eclectic Summer Sayings) is also stamped in white and I added the white lines with my white gel pen.

On the third card, I used an SU Apricot Appeal card base and stamped the branches in Memento Desert Sand ink. The sentiment is from Inside and Out (the free with three set this month) and stamped with Rich Cocoa.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend!
