Bright and cheerful thank you notes

Hello!

Today I have some thank you cards to share with you all. 

In my every day life I'm a 911 operator. 

Yep, I'm that voice of calm on the other end of the line when you are in an emergency.

I wanted to make thank you cards for our supervisors at work,

 (for National Telecommuters Week (in April))

and I wanted needed them to be quick. 

I inked up some regular heavy cardstock with bright distress inks

 (including the new mermaid lagoon)

and then I ran the paper through an embossing folder,

ran a black ink pad across the raised areas, and stamped the thank you. 

Then I finished it off with a bit of black and white bakers twine. 

Not too bad for a quickie card!

Hope you are having a fabulous Monday Morning!!!

a Get well soon card

I recently won some of Tim Holtz' new Bird Crazy stamps,

and I thought they would be perfect to cheer up someone that is sick. 

I stamped and then colored up my bird with some distress pens,

Ohh i just love the little flip of his feather (makes him look like an elvis bird!)

For the "Get Well Soon" sentiment I stamped in peacock feather distress ink, and then clear embossed over. 

Finally I finished the card off with some twine so the bird isn't just "floating in space"

He sorta looks like he's a bird on a wire. 

Thanks for stopping by and check out my work, 

you all mean so much to me.
