Thank You Theme for September part 1 of 4

The card theme for September is Thank you.  I'll be sharing 4 posts with Thank You cards.

This is a fun, easy card created primarily with the Crazy About You stamp set.  I like to keep it simple by using fewer stamp sets and proving that card making can be fun and successful even with just a few supplies.

 

The card base is Elegant Eggplant.  I've created my own DSP by stamping the Brushstrokes background stamp using Pear Pizzazz ink on Whisper White. 

With the Crazy About You Stamp set, I created the decorated panel stamped with the flower and the leaves in Elegant Eggplant and Pear Pizzazz.  I stamped another Elegant Eggplant flower and punched it out using the coordinating Flower Medallion punch.  The stamped panel was then layered on Elegant Eggplant and over the Brushstrokes background

The sentiment was stamped with the Crazy About You set, but the banner was stamped with Thoughtful Banners and punched with the coordinating Duet Banner punch.

The sentiment banner was layered over a small piece of Pear Pizzazz on Elegant Eggplant.  One of the Rhinestone Basic Jewels was used to accent the middle of the popped up flower and a double loop whisper white bow finishes off the front.

The inside also has a Whisper White panel stamped with Brushstrokes in Pear Pizzazz layered with Elegant Eggplant.  The top Whisper White panel was stamped with the Crazy About You flower and leaves to coordinate with the outside of the card.

This produced a fun and pretty Thank You card, which could just as easily be used for almost any occasion simply by changing the sentiment.  That's what I love about the Crazy About You set;  there are so many words to choose, and even though the set is almost entirely words, a pretty card can be made with the flowers and leaves.
