A Thank You card - TSOT #639

 This card is for the sketch challenge at Try a Sketch on Tuesday #639

I use the retired Tea Boutique DSP.






On an A2 Gorgeous Grape card base I added a 4 by 5 1/4" piece of Basic White card stock, and on top of that a smaller piece of retired Tea Boutique DSP (light mauve pattern), The edges of these papers were sponged with Gorgeous Grape ink.

I cut three strips of a different pattern of the same DSP at  3 3/4 by 3/4"  and matted them with Gorgeous Grape cardstock.  After sponging all the edges with Gorgeous Grape ink these 3 strips were added to the left side of the card front.

A Basic White banner, notched at one end was added near the bottom.  The sentiment, a die cut word "thanks" was added to this banner.  At the unnotched end, a cluster of three punched flowers with leaves was added.  Some gold prills were added to the center of each flower.

To finish the card I added 3 pale pastel pearls.

Supplies Used:
Stamp:
Inks:  Gorgeous Grape
Papers:  Gorgeous Grape, Basic White, Tea Boutique DSP (retired), Garden Green
Accessories:  Pastel pearls, small floral punches, Prills, Well Said dies

Such pretty floral paper for your panels and the patterned paper in the back is perfect. Love how you used similar florals in your focus point on the sentiment. Thanks for sharing your beautiful card with TSOT.
