    Thank You Card and ATC Duo | By Sandhya Iyer

    Hello, friends! This is Design Team member Sandhya Iyer and I am sharing a thank you card and Artist Trading Card (ATC) duo. For my focal point, I chose the Rose Leaves Contour Layers die set. I used the Thank You Foil Greetings black circle tabs for the sentiment.

    I started by die-cutting the Rose Leaves Contour Layers out of watercolor cardstock. Next, I pulled out Distress Oxide inks in varying shades of green and used a blending brush to ink the leafy layers. For the delicate and more detailed pieces, I leave them attached to the area around them after die-cutting and ink them before popping them out.

    Next, I smooshed some green and pink ink on my craft mat and inked a watercolor panel. I layered on Antique Linen Distress ink over that for a vintage look. Then I added more interest and texture to the background using pages from an old book, washi tape, and snow gauze.

    I adhered the larger leaf to the panel and added the thank you sentiment tab. Then I added a generous splatter of black ink. Finally, I added a black mat to the panel and attached it to a kraft card base.

    I repeated the same process with tiny variations to create my ATC. Instead of the watercolor panel, I picked a small tag from my stash and inked it with Distress ink.

    As this is a mini tag, I added some twine for added interest and assembled the focal cluster with the mixed media tag, the inked die-cut leaves, and the sentiment tab.

    This brings us to the end of today’s post. Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have fun crafting today!

    Pumpkin Thanks | By Sandhya Iyer

    Hello, friends! This is Sandhya and I am here to inspire you with a layered and dimensional “Thanks” card. I used the Adornment Pumpkin die set as the focal point and added the Big Thanks Sugar Script die for my sentiment. The Honeycomb Bevel Plate Layering die set is my secret to building layers and dimension on this card.

    While I usually create ink-smooth panels and die cut into them, I did the opposite for the pumpkin. I started by die-cutting the pumpkin solid layer and the leaves out of watercolor paper. Next, I used an assortment of Distress Inks to create interesting smooshed inky layers on the pumpkin, stem and the leaves. I cut the delicate pumpkin outline layer out of glitter cardstock and adhered it over the solid layer.

    Then I die-cut some thick white cardstock with the HOneycomb Bevel Player Laters A and B. I adhered the layers together to form an anchoring layer under the pumpkin. I also die cut the sentiment out of thick watercolor cardstock.

    Next, I used Bundled Sage Distress Oxide to ink blend an ombre background on an A2 card base as well as the die-cut sentiment. Then came the fun part of assembling the card. I used generous amounts of foam tape to build the layers and embellished the card with a few enamel dots. It will cost a tad bit more to mail this card but it will look amazing sitting on the fireplace of a dear friend.

    This brings us to the end of today’s post. Thank you so much for stopping by and I will be back soon with more new card ideas.
