Happy, Happy Thank You Cards

My baby brother is getting married this spring, and I I offered to make thank-you cards. His bride-to-be likes bright, fun colors and together, we came up with this great card. I started by stamping the umbrella image in three separate colors, Rick Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie, and Melon Mambo.





The next step was to cut out each piece and make sure I had enough of each "side" piece. I started off by stamping full images, and then realized it would be much easier to just stamp the "side" I need.



Next, I glued all three umbrella pieces to together, and finished up by stamping the umbrella handle. I used an extra "center" piece as a masking tool.



And here's what it looked like somewhere in the middle of the assembly line!



Tah-dah! They are all done! All 100 thank you cards!




Stamps: SU Thank You Kindly, PTI Scattered Showers
Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, Pacific Point, Basic Black
Card stock: Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Rick Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, Whisper White
Embellishments: SU Scalloped Border Punch, Misc ribbon






This was one of the original prototypes. In the end, I think the yellow base really made this card pop!
