Grateful

Here is a project which I did to say thank you to Angie and Angela, two wonderful friends who really looked out for me recently.  I was ill with laryngitis while my husband was away for a week but they kept popping in to make sure I was ok and I was so blessed by them that I made the following as a thank you.

I started off doing a couple of masterboards, first up was paint brayered in several shades of pink:


and yellow on the other side of the card:


Then some stencilling:


My masterboards were now ready to cut up for final stamping and finishing.  I wanted to make bookmarks for Angie and a little book for Angela.  The theme for both was thanksgiving scriptures from the bible.  Its so good to have a grateful heart and there are so many wonderful verses in the bible.  Here are the finished bookmarks:


and the minibook:


Some of them have a little extra backround stamping, but I wanted the flowers to be the focal point:


For the minibook I alternated pink and yellow pages.  In the end I wished I hadn't done both sides so I could have mounted each page on black card, but they still look lovely I think:


I stamped a script backround on this page in white, yes white, but I hadn't cleaned the stamp properly so it came out grey!  But I liked it and I think I might get a grey inkpad now :)


I love dandelion stamps!



This was such a fun project to do and Angie and Angela loved them too.
