Distress Watercolor Thank You Note

-
Good morning everyone.  I have so many things to make right now that I spent some time recently crafting like mad.  I really needed to make some thank you notes and one of them had to be for a man.  There are so many fun things that you can do with Distress Inks and I have been really inspired watching Kristina Werner.  You can check out the video where I received my inspiration here.  It is pretty easy to come up with your own backgrounds by just taking a few simple steps.

I also wanted to join in on the current 3 Girl JAM challenge - Yellow, Orange, and Green with Ribbon.  Doesn't that sound like a good challenge.  I knew that the 3GJ Thank You flair and the Harvest Orange would be perfect for this fun card.  You can order your own by clicking on the links within the names of the products.  Don't forget to use the code "CP10" for a discount on any 3 Girl JAM order.


Other supplies used:
Distress Markers - Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Forest Moss
Distress Ink - Spiced Marmalade
Versamark
Watercolor Paper
Paper Trey Ink white cardstock and "Counting My Blessings" stamp set
Clear embossing powder
Recollections "Spice Market" cardstock pack (green)
Perfect Pearls spray (homemade)
1/2" Corner Chomper

The video below explains the process used to create this card (though I added the stitch lines after the video)


I am linking this to the current 3 Girl JAM challenge which you can find by clicking here.
Thanks for stopping by today.  Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.

Welcome to my little contribution to the Operation Write Home Blog Hop.  I am so happy that you stopped by today.  This is the first time that I've participated in an OWH Blog Hop, but I have hopped to other blogs during these hops before.  I can't wait to see all the inspiration out there. Today, I have chosen the Bonus Sketch #12 to use with this hop.  It is a sketch that my daughter chose to have me make her thank you notes for graduation before I even knew the hop details.  What perfect timing!  Be sure to scroll down to the previous post for a full tutorial and to see my daughter's thank you note.  Same technique and sketch, but a totally different card. I used the following supplies: Operation Write Home Bonus Sketch #12 K and Company - Ancestry.com paper Memento Tuxedo Black ink OWH / Hero Art stamp Stampendous - Happy Messages stamp set Thanks so much for stopping by today.
