Last night I finally finished up the last card that needed to be mailed out this week. I made this thank you card for my mom, who came out to stay for two weeks to help out when I had the baby. It's late, considering the baby is now two months old, but is also the last thank you card I needed from the 'newborn baby period'. Moms always understand the tardiness thing, right?
I have such an attraction to this toile paper. I have used it in a few cards and keep picking up more whenever I'm at the store when it's on sale. I was able to find coordinating floral paper a few visits ago and yesterday I found coordinating checkered paper (not sure of the name of that design?). I checked out a few sketch challenges and found one I liked at Mojo Monday, so this is what I came up with.

And I'm including one of the inside because I like the way it turned out also. While cleaning up my scraps I found the little tree cut perfectly from the toile paper (unintentional) and on a whim added it to the inside.
It's different :)
It's really a simple card. I used Tea Dye distress ink to sponge on a background then stamped the thank you in Vintage Photo distress ink before using the Floral Ovals to cut it out. Otherwise it was a simple matting and layering project. Product details below. Hope you enjoyed my card!
