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.

I am so happy to be able to offer these wonderful stamps

I have them in stock and ready to ship!

Let me show you what I used and then tell
you about today's 'Ippity Double Deal'...
