Thank you cards with removable watercoloured heart ornaments


 I made these cards to thank my parent's neighbours for the generous support they have shown them since they moved into their apartment a few years back.  Dad fell and broke his arm in October and is going into assisted living and Mom is moving into senior accomodation.  They will be across the street from each other so will be able to see each other every day.  It is a blessing that things have fallen into place for them.  They will not be far from their neighbours in the apartment building either but we thought it was important to let them know how much we appreciate all they have done for our parents.  
I watercoloured a piece of cardstock with permanent inks - blue and green on one side and yellow and red on the other which created a wonderful piece of duplex paper.  I die cut hearts from the paper and added a hanger so they can be hung in a window, on a knob or even used as a bookmark.  I created little white cards to fit in small envelopes from my stash.  I created backgrounds using coordinating papers and added the little vellum greetings (gold embossed) with eyelets before adhering them to the card fronts.  I added the hearts tucking the bottom under the vellum and securing the hanger on the inside of the card using regular tape.  I am very happy with how they worked out and I will be bringing them when I go for Dad's birthday.
