A Thank You Card…

Posted by Jen | Taylored Expressions/Whimsical Wishes, cards, random ramblings | Sunday, March 29, 2009

Happy Sunday! I know I am not a usual Sunday blogger, although it’s becoming more and more common, and I have this card to show. Red, brown and pink {with a splash of green} is not the most obvious color combo…at least not in my book, but I really like the way that it all came together here.

I started with Choice Buttercream cardstock {in the Taylored Expressions store} and then added some of SU!’s Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette and Real Red DP. The images are from the Branching Out and Branching Out Coordinates sets HERE. I am not sure if you can tell from the pic, but the flowers, leaves and a birdhouse are mounted on dimensionals. I am totally in love with the new EK Success punches that I found at Michael’s. They lay flat and they have lots of GREAT designs, including the scallop with the punches dots that I used on the thin Chocolate Chip layer under the sentiment.

I also want to show you some pics that I snapped last week just before a thunderstorm hit. There are updrafts and downdrafts that came into play here to make the clouds look like this. Very turbulent weather, but nothing scary or dangerous {this time!}. These were taken at about 1 o’clock in the afternoon, but it was SO dark outside. CLICK ON THE PIC FOR A LARGER VIEW.

    Nice card. Did you have any trouble lining up your holes on your EKSuccess punch? I bought the straight line of holes one but you can barely see the little silver spots when lining up and I keep punching just a bit “off” and getting ‘”holes and a quarter” if I accidently double punch an area.
