Good Evening Everybody

I hope you are all well. Today I am joining in with the Kylie's International Blog Hop, where a whole host of crafters are sharing Thank You Cards. The idea behind this hop is that you can vote for your favourite cards and then they can join in a winners blog hop!!

I Decided to go bright and bold using some bold stripes and Poppy Parade flowers in my Basket!!

scraps for flowers and basket

Take your piece off 11"x 6" basic gray cardstock and score at 2 3/4" & 8 1/4". fold on the score lines, towards the centre. so you fold from the left and fold from the right to form your 'gate'. make sure these line up perfectly and burnish well.

On the inside, add the largest piece of DSP to the back panel, and centre the whisper white to the top.

close the 'gate' and add the two rectangular strips of DSP to each side.

Stamp some of the flowers in Poppy Parade onto scrap whisper white cardstock and cut out using the small bloom punch. also stamp the basket in basic gray and fussy cut.

stamp the Thank You sentiment from Free as a bird along the bottom of the whisper white piece that remains. Then layer this onto the last piece of basic gray.

Place the basket just above the sentiment, I used glue dots so that it was secure, but it all wasn't stuck down, this helped when arranging all the flowers in the basket - it meant that I could tuck bit under with no problem. I also cut a couple of the petals to add some filling to the basket. Add a metallic pearl to all the flower centres you can see,

Add dimensionals to this panel, but make sure you only cover the left half. if you go any further across you run the risk of sticking in all closed! add this to the card front, paying attention to those diemnsionals on the back
