Hello everyone!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! Have you hopped along for The Ton’s Spring 2019 Release Blog Hop? So many talented designers and so much inspiration!!

I have used one of the smaller sets from the release to create a trio of thank you cards.

I often stamp several panels with the same stamp set while I have it positioned in my MISTI. I usually stamp it with different inks & embossing powders, so I can use different mediums to color them.

I used the Beautiful Branches stamp set for all three of these cards. Here’s the first one…

I began by stamping Beautiful Branches toward the top and bottom of a panel of white cardstock with Caviar Ink and colored them with Copic markers. I added some detail for the stamen with a yellow gel pen. The sentiment, from the Toned Hearts stamp set, was also stamped in the center of the branches. The panel was trimmed slightly at the top and bottom and matted with light blue cardstock. A sprinkling of Blue Ice Couture Mix was the finishing touch!

The second cards was created the same way, except the Beautiful Branches was white heat embossed and colored with Zig Clean Color Markers.

For this one, the sentiment was white heat embossed onto purple cardstock and popped up onto foam adhesive. I mixed sequins from Amethyst Quartz and Violet Sprinkle Couture Mixes to find the perfect shades.

My third and final card was gold heat embossed…

This one was also colored with Zig Clean Color Markers. A sprinkling of Medallion Gold sequins is a nice accent to the gold heat embossing.

Now I have three thank you cards to add to my stash!! Do you have a favorite?

Thanks for stopping by today!! I’ll see you soon!!
