Thanks, You Are My Sunshine Thank You Card

Hello Prickley Pear friends!  Joy, here with you today sharing a bright and cheerful thank you card.  I hope this inspires you to make something fun too.  Recently I received a card in the mail thanking me for something really small that I did for friend and it meant the world to me. I think we have forgotten how special it feels to get happy mail instead the regular daily business of the grind. I for one, am guilty of not making enough “Thank you” cards, but I’m going to change that. My card uses the new Thanks stamp and coordinating die from Prickley Pear Stamps. Let me know what you think.

You Are My Sunshine

I love the new bold look of the Thanks stamp and die because it takes up a large portion of an A2 card panel. Not only does this come with the stitched font, but two others and twelve complimentary images. Wowzers! That’s fantastic!!! I decided to color the word in a gradient of grays using Copics so that it would stand out further on this bright card. I think the You Are My Sunshine stamp was perfect to create this rainbow sky. I cut this out using a coordinating die and popped it up on the stenciled background.

What’s really cool is that to create this background you can use any stencil from your stash and pounce a blue ink through it. I used a rainbow die from my stash which I cut out in white and colored it with Copics. You could definitely used 1/4 inch strips of colored cardstock to create a similar look. Finally I added a few clear dew drops and a single red heart.

Well, friends, I hope you’re feeling inspired from this post! Tag me on Instagram if you make a project using this as inspiration!! I’d love to see how you made it your own!! Xx, Joy
