First of all, hoping everyone spends this Memorial Day with a grateful heart. I tend to make a lot of thank you cards, but it seems especially appropriate today.

Memorial Day Thanks
Global Design Project’s sketch provided the inspiration, and my card was quickly completed. Does the sketch inspire you? We’d love to see your creation in our Gallery.
I began with beautiful, Expressions In Ink Designer Paper, in shades of green and a touch of gold, 5 1/4″ X 4″.
Next, I cut two sections from the middle, as you see in the sketch, with an Ornate Layers Die.
I stamped “Thank You” in Shaded Spruce Ink on the bottom section, and backed it with Basic White Cardstock for thickness. Then, I backed the bottom section with Expressions In Ink, gold & white stripe, leaving a small amount of the stripe showing, and attached both sections with Dimensionals in the “cut out” holes.
Prior to gluing the Expressions In Ink layer to the card base, I stamped “ever so much” in Shaded Spruce Ink. The sentiments are from the Ornate Thanks Stamp Set. Isn’t the font great?
I added three, Sequins For Everything, gold sequins, as a final touch. Click on the picture in my Product List, if you’d like to see what 3,600 sequins looks like.
