Grateful for You, Teacher


Have I mentioned that Blossoming Buds is my favourite stamp set right now? I'm constantly reaching for it and you'll be seeing more of it in the upcoming weeks! I've already made a few cards with it, including this one which went to my son's teacher when he finished kindergarten in June.


To create the card base, I used the new Index Card which is a slightly smaller, narrower version of Femme Frames. I stamped the sentiment first in Archival Jet Black ink and then stamped the flowers in Versamark ink before heat embossing with clear embossing powder. To finish, I watercoloured with Gansai watercolour paints and my son wrote his note with little heart flowers. ♥ All supplies are listed below with links to multiple stores.


Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wow, what's better... the beautiful outside, or the cute inside? Hard to decide... ;)
