I have loved this Expressions In Ink Designer Series Paper and thought I would just make a simple card with it to enjoy the paper some more before it retires. Yes, it is on the Last Chance List but is still available as I write this so grab some if you want to stock up or finally get it. I made this basic Expressions In Ink Thanks Card because it is easy and it really shows off the gorgeous paper with gold foil accents.
The card base is Mint Macaron to match the leaves on the designer paper. There are several greens in the whole package of paper, actually quite a long list of coordinating colors that go with the paper. I intended to use the opposite side of the paper for the bottom portion of the card, but the papaya-colored florals on the front were too pretty to cover up even a small area!
I adhered a piece of the 3/8″ Fine Art Ribbon across the front of the card. This is a beautiful soft, natural ribbon with shiny gold threads in it. It is easy to tie and use since it is soft. I tied a separate bow and adhered it to the card using Mini Glue Dots. This ribbon is on sale right now on the Last Chance List so get some before it retires!
The greeting is in the Artistically Inked Stamp Set which may no longer be available. You can use any greeting you would like for the occasion. It is stamped in Pale Papaya Ink and die cut with one of the Tasteful Labels Dies. These dies are another thing on the Last Chance List, retiring soon, while supplies last. I hate to see these go! The greeting is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
The photo of this card really doesn’t do it justice! If you could see it in person it is so pretty! It’s all about the paper! Here is another card I made with this same paper design but with a lot more embellishment.
