Thank you fairy much



I'm so happy that the time for making Christmas cards is over. I love Christmas, but I've been making a card a day for two weeks now and I'm exhausted, lol.
For today's card I'd like to show you a thank you card I made. I'm sure you have people to thank after the Christmas season. The great thing about thank-you cards is that there is no theme you have to follow - everything is allowed.



I have used one of ching chou kuik's latest images called purple hearts from plate 68. She is coloured with promarkers and shimmery dry chalks for hair and background. I used a Martha Stewart butterfly punch on the background paper, then cut out a rectangle on the card's fold top of the card. I was so proud of myself for coming up with this idea. Don't think I've seen it anywhere else before, so remember where you saw it first ;)

I added some extra sparkle around the image and on some of the butterflies. The text is handwritten and I'm very happy with it (especially concidering I wrote it 4am)

I just love the airy spring-like feel of this card. Can't wait to make more!
