Warmest Thanks-Artful Elegance Card

Here is the final card I made today. As I was finishing this one up, the girls came out to my room to let me know they were home. I was pretty much tired anyway, so it was a great stopping point. I pretty much cased this card on Just Give Me Stamps. I just eyeballed the dimensions. The colors are Cocoa, Garden Green and Colonial White. It's pretty straightforward. I found my 1 3/8 circle punch gave the medallion stamp a great mat. I stamped one on Cocoa, matted in Cocoa and cut it in half. This card has lots of sponging done in Cocoa. The "ribbon" strip is Cocoa cardstock that is sanded a bit. I used my 1/2 inch square punch to punch the tail on either side.

I hope you've enjoyed the cards. I sure enjoyed making them.

On the knitted hat front...I made the pom-poms and added them to the hats. They add a nice touch. I can't remember if I mentioned that the yarn I used for the hats is a chenille type of yarn. It's not a good yarn to use to make pom-poms (don't ask me how I know). The girls picked out a color that works with the hat color. Now I'm working on some matching scarves. In fact, Amy asked if I worked on the scarf while they were gone. (um, that would be a no).

Thanks for visiting. If luck is on my side...I may find my way out to my craft room again tomorrow. I probably should space out the sharing of the cards, but I get too excited to wait. Ü
