Instructions

Stamp "thanks" on light yellow cardstock using orange pigment ink and emboss with clear embossing powder. See basic rubber stamping video instructions guide.

Cut out along the sides of the image using the craft scissors. Stain sponge with some orange pigment ink and lightly dab around the sides of the image to blend the orange color. See "Color Blending with Pigment Ink video"

On the card base, stamp flourish design on the left of the card creating a border. You may use ribbons as well in replacement as it would make a good layout too.

Using the same technique of blending colors with pigment ink, use canary, ash rose, opera pink and orange to blend in colors on the card base.

Cut out green cardstock measuring 6cm x 6cm. I have a square scallop die to cut but if you don't have, it can be just a square piece of cardstock as well.

Paste green square cardstock at the bottom left of the card, layering over part of the border flourish design, using foam tape.

Paste the sentiment "Thanks" over the center of the card, layering and covering part of the square cardstock, using foam tape.

Embellishment further with prima flowers and rain dots as shown.
