Thank you

Hello again,

I'm still working my way through some of the many cards I have now posted to my friend in Northern NSW, Today I am sharing two of the 4 thank you cards. As I had to post them to her and I didn’t want to have to include other items to protect the cards in the post when she sends them, I have gone for flat, no fuss cards, adding touches of liquid pearls or enamel to add interest without adding the flat backed pearls or gems which play havoc with the postal services machines chewing the envelopes up. 

The first card uses a sheet of patterned paper from a magazine freebie pack, trimmed down to fit the card, a Darkroom Door eclectic butterfly stamped in London fog ink and fussy cut, sentiment stamped into the smaller section and some liquid pearls added.

Here are my cards:-

I have opted for using some design paper from Kaisercraft a Hot off the Press stamp and die set ‘Feathers’ I cut the feathers out of scraps of beige, brown and white cardstock, heat embossing and fussy cutting the brown feather. A simple sentiment from MFT Essential Sentiments (only used the portion which fitted inside the tiny tag diecut, mirri card was punched with a single hole punch to add flat embellishments a tiny piece of metallic gold embroidery thread used on the tag

What I used:-
White 10.5x14.8cm card blanks 
Design paper from magazine freebie
Darkroom door Eclectic Butterfly stamp
London Fog ink
White liquid pearl
Memento Tuxedo Black ink 
Darkroom Door Sentiment Full Bloom Vol.1

handmade paper
Beige, white, gold and brown card scraps
Hole punch
Hot off the Press ‘Feathers’ Stamp and die set
Clear embossing ink
White embossing powder
CCD stitched tag die
Gold embroidery thread
Kaisercraft ‘Black and White timeless’ paper

Adhesives:- Double sided tape, Glue pen, foam tape, Diamond glaze

P.S. Many thanks for the well wishes, still wearing sling when I leave home for any reason and propping arm up inside. Neither physio has heard from the specialist yet so feeling like I am in limbo. I do all my commenting using my phone rather than at the computer at the minute and I kind of like that has predictive suggestions as it makes my DT commenting easier. 
P.P.S A huge thank you to all my lovely blogging friends and visitors who take the time to stop by and leave me a comment, I truly appreciate them all!

I hope you see results soon from your physio and you have found an easier way to comment. Your cards are so pretty. I really love those feathers.

Two really lovely cards, great layouts and lovely images.
Must be awful for you not knowing what the heck is going on, hope the specialist gets a move on very soon.

Brilliant cards Megan, must say I consider flat post more these days... and those washi cards are perfect for that. Added some explanations and more photos too, posted them off today. Sometimes I get my act together. Must admit I love that feathers set too. But am on total ban till sort out my craft room I’ve decided. Mind you it was after I spent up yesterday too! Also have an electric machine preordered since last month, can’t wait till it comes at end of month. Hope to blog when it comes 😁
