Crafty Catz - Dies & Punches


It seems I'm always in need of more thank you cards!  I like this word art from Everyday Thanks at Paper Makeup Stamps.  Because it's a digi image, I could give it a little shadow effect in Word before printing it on some designer paper by Fancy Pants from their Country Boutique collection.  Actually, all the patterned paper on this card is from that same collection.

The Butterfly Border was cut with  a C.C. Designs Cutter die.  And of course I had to add lots of sparkle with some gems and my trusty stardust glitter pen!

Bearly Mine Challenge - #3 For Men and/or Boys
Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturdays - Dots & Stripes

This might seem like an odd pairing of image and sentiment.  My son went through my stash of cards for a teacher thank you and declared that they were all "too pretty" for his English teacher at school, {LOL}.  He said he would like a football thank you for him in Steeler's colors since his teacher is a Steelers fan.  He liked this crazy image called Football Fan Monster and I colored him with copics to match Steeler colors.  Then we thought this Shakespeare quote was good for an English teacher.  I thought the dotted texture on the background was like a football and added a couple strips of paper to mimic the stripes on the helmet. 

Thanks for visiting and I wish you all the beary best!
