Thank you card featuring thin heart collage, red ribbon and a font greeting

I created this thank you card today using the scraps from yesterday's heart art collage for my Mom.  I started with a large purple card which fit in an envelope from my stash.  I stamped the front with a swirly heart background (SU) and gold embossed it.  I trimmed the collage scraps straight across and adhered them next to each other with the soft edges to the outside on the front of my card.  I overlapped where they join with a red ribbon with gold trim adhering the ends to the inside of my card.  I added a short piece over it on the left and tied them together with a short piece of gold fiber leaving the ends long.  I found this laser printed font greeting (NOEL) in my stash.  I watercoloured the body of the letters with purple and then added a bit of clear glitter to the letters.  I ran my tracing wheel on all four edges and then watercoloured the background in light green.  I layered my greeting onto a gold layer and adhered it over the ribbon using 3D foam tape.  Those hearts make the most wonderful background!!  I love the softness of colours and the edges.    Therese

All occasion card featuring a collaged background, a floral image and rhinestones

Having really liked the last card I made I decided to make another one in the same fashion.  I adhered triangles to the front of my card reaching from side to side and tight to each other.  I added the black border to it using a fine tip black Sharpie.  I found another little floral image in my stash and watercoloured it to coordinate with my background.  I gave it the same black border treatment with a black marker though a bit heavier this time and I still like it.  I mounted my image to my card front using 3D foam tape and then added three pink rhinestones to finish off my card.  

Having fun!!
