Simple Thank you's this week.....

First up is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card. Start with green print paper, layer the white 3x3 piece then the green 2 1/2x 2 1/2, then a die cut paper flower. Cut out "Thank you" with Cricut in yellow cardstock.









Next up is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base. First layer is a piece of patterned paper, then add a strip of orange cardstock about 1/2" x 4 1/4. Then on the edge a piece of chocolate cardstock that's approx. 3/4 x 4 1/4. On top of the chocolate cardstock add a piece of cardboard cut to about 1/4 x 4 1/4. The tag was a piece of manila file folder that was cut into a tag shape, added the little ring sticky thing and then inked it with Tim Holtz distressing ink. I used a sponge to apply the ink. The finish on the folder makes the ink look like old leather. (Very nice effect) Using Stazon black ink I stamped the "Thank you". Add a white daisy that has been sprayed with coffee colored Tattered Angels Glitter Mist, then a little orange paper flower and finally a velvet aqua brad.







My final thought tonight is of this little hummingbird that flies around my gazebo. I have tried to capture his photo several times, but he is not very cooperative! He usually dive bombs my head or fights with other hummingbirds, so getting this picture was really exciting! Enjoy!
