Thank You Cards

I loved SSS Anna's Flowers the first time I saw it, so that's what I got in a sale awhile back.  Nichol's snowflake video inspired me to make this card. 
Luckily, I had this 12x12 neutral script patterned paper I got quite awhile ago for 25 cents & it was perfect for the background.  I used gold & champagne pigment inks with 4 embossing powders. 
SSS Painted Thanks die cut was stacked 3 high & brushed with a shimmer pen.  I finished off with SSS Mocha Java sequins.  I'm entering SSS Flickr & SSS Wednesday via IG.
My next card was also inspired by another crafter: Vicky H.  I love masking an area for ink blending & stamping.  However, I don't think I've ever done it just in a corner like Vicky did for this card--see it at the end of this post.  I used a white scrap trimmed to a 3 3/4 inch square & brushed on Distress Oxides faded jeans & speckled egg.
Then I stamped a snowflake from HA Enjoy the Seasons & a sentiment from HA Happiness Messages using the faded jeans.  The panel was heavily spritzed with Shimmer Spray--so pretty in person. 
I inked the edges of a 4x4 square card with faded jeans & decided against embellishments.  I'm entering ABNHSSS Wednesday & Stamplorations CAS.

I probably won't post again this year, but I do wish all of you a safe New Year's celebration & a healthy, crafty 2021.
