As we all wish for spring Cathy has used this season to inspire her thank you card; with the thought of the flowers that begin to bloom and color returning to gardens everywhere. The result is this beautiful spring bouquet card to say thanks.
By Cathy A
Each of the flowers on this card has been created using Elizabeth Craft Dies and tools and Chameleon Pens. You can see from this close up of some of the flowers how easy they are to color with just a few Chameleon pens.
Cathy has created a video and downloadable instructions for each of the flowers so that you can re-create them.

As the card has a 3D design it needs to be boxed to prevent damage when posted so Cathy has created this simple box with an embossed design top to hold the card.
Other materials used to create the box and card design:- Tattered Lace T Bar Slider Dies (embossed box lid) Tattered Lace Card Shapes Squares, Penny Black Flower Tags Die (tag on card), Penny Black Thank You sentiment from Oriental clear set, SRM large Doily, Orchid Liquid Pearls and ribbon from Michaels.
We hope these flowers have brightened your new year and inspired you to create thank you cards with a splash of color.
