So Many Thanks...So Little Time...

I don't know about you, but I feel like I can never send

enough 'Thank You' cards.  I sometimes think that the

simpler you can make them, the quicker you can get them

to the one who deserves it.

It is H{Ippity} Hop Monday here at

Julie's Open Window.

There are so many fabulous 'Ippity Chicks'

that have created something to share with you

today, so make sure you stop by the

Ippity Blog and check them out!

Today I wanted to share something that is

simple, quick, dimensional and elegant.

I used some fabby DP from Teresa Collins and stamped

the images with Ranger Archival ink in 'Coffee'. 

I gave the panel a little 'depth' by inking

the edges with Tim Holtz's Distress Ink in 'Old Paper'.

I layered Spellbinders 'Labels 9' dies to create the panel

for the sentiment.  The side border was created using

Martha's 'Deco Border' punch.

A few pearl and silver embellishments and a little

organdy ribbon finish it off.

I can tell you that the 'Bit of Burlap' stamp is one

of the most versatile images I own. 

It's great for backgrounds and adding textures to other images

such as the butterflies on my recent projects.
