Three Ways To Say Thank You

Sorry for the delay in posting but a few bits of life popped up, so this card is rather appropriate.  It's a digi image from Tiddly Inks called Thanks Beary Much.  I think it's a great card for kids to send out as a thank you card or as a lighthearted thank you card.  I used the same image with three different color combinations so you could see how versatile the image can be.  All the images are colored using Copics.

These images show the card done in bright colors with floral embellishments from Prima and stickles on the bears and the girl's shoes.  The image was cut out and glued to the mat which was attached to the background of the card which is DP paper from loose stock from my stash.

This version of the image is done in black, red, and white.  Glitter pens were used on the bears, and the chair to bring out some highlights, and a Glaze pen was used on the girl's hair and shoes to bring out a little gloss and texture.  The edges of the image was distressed using both black and red inks from my stash.  The Red rose was part of a Rose Ribbon from my stash and the white flowers are from Prima.  The little ribbon was made using black and white heart ribbon from my stash and belted together using a small piece of black velvet ribbon from my stash.  The DP paper is from leftovers in my stash.

And finally the third version is a combination of the first two cards.  I used bling from my stash since I used DP floral paper from my loose stock stash and thought using bulky flowers would be too overpowering.  I used colored Spica glitter pens on the bears, chair, dress, and shoes, and a Glaze pen in her hair for glossy highlights.  I lightly distressed the mat with pink chalk ink from my stash.

As you can see, you can get three different looks from the same image simply by changing the colors and embellishments up.  The one thing I usually keep the same is the sentiment inside which is, "Thank you beary, beary, beary much!!"

I hope you enjoyed today's cards and if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave them and I'll respond.  Thanks for following.

Craft on, and the next post is sure to be a surprise!
