'Tis the season for writing a stack of thank you notes. I chose a simple composition featuring a Luxe peony on a Pinpoint Burst Heart for the first few I need. Here are two of them.
- I started with a white notecard and a green plaid from SPRING PLAID PP1012 cut 5 1/4 X 4.
- I added the PINPOINT BURST HEART 94639 cut with gold mirror card from VINTAGE PASTEL MIRROR PAD FP1002, secured with Scor-Tape.
- My next step was to choose two sheets of red plaid paper from JOLLY CHRISTMAS PP1019 for the LUXE PEONY 94714 and the THANK YOU POSH SCRIPT 94529. I cut the peony several times from both sides of the plaid paper so I could mix the two papers. I cut the background for the Thank You from the scraps left of the darker red plaid and the more detailed lettering from the lighter paper scraps. I assembled the flowers with Glue Dots (and have tucked away a couple more for cards I'll make later) and I put the sentiments together with a Glue Pen.
- I wanted larger leaves than came with the peony so chose the larger set of leaves from the EXQUISITE LEAF SET 94664 and cut them from a darker green cardstock from the LUSH GREEN COLLECTION SP1003.
- For the final assembly, I added the leaf sprig with Glue Dots under a couple of the leaves and added the single leaf with another Glue Dot off to the bottom left corner.
- I used a large circular dimensional foam dot behind the center of the peony to add it to the heart.
- I used a Glue Pen to add the sentiment in the lower right.
This design would also work for a valentine, a wedding card, a birthday, or any other number of occasions. And the color combinations are endless!
Happy Crafting!
