Thank you, neighbor!

April 24, 2017 0 Comments

Hi! My husband and I were recently surprised by our neighbor’s random act of kindness. Our wonderful neighbor was out mowing his grass, had a little extra time, and decided to mow our lawn, too! You should’ve seen the huge grin on my husband’s face…priceless!

As a little thank you to our neighbor and his family, I created this colorful thank you card attached to a box of locally made, delicious cookies!

After creating the background using distress ink blending, I stamped the butterfly and flower images using Dare 2B Artzy’s Copic friendly Totally Black ink. I colored the images from Flowers for Mom, Butterfly Inspiration, and Butterfly using the following Copic markers:
RV10, RV04, RV09
YG11, G14, G17
BG01, B04, B05
C1, C3, C4, C5
Accents were added with Sakura Glaze pens and Wink of Stella.

The images were cut out using the coordinating dies for Flowers for Mom and Butterfly Inspiration! The large flower and the butterfly were mounted using foam tape for extra dimension.

I hope our neighbors enjoy this card as much as I enjoyed creating it! These stamps make crafting so much fun!

Happy stamping, and I hope you spread some crafty kindness this week!
