Thank You

I made this card for our PTA.  Every year they hold a book fair at conferences and then they buy us books of our choice for our classrooms.  I made a second one for one of my students and his family because they bought several of the books on my wish list.  It’s such a great program and I like to let them know every year how much I appreciate all of their hard work.  I was on Nichole’s blog from PTI and she had done a card like this with one of their new February releases found here http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c64e753ef012877865fed970c-pi.  This made me remember a stamp set I have from inkadinkado called circle and dots and a card that I had made similar to hers last year. The one I made here http://wheredoesstacystimego.com/category/congratulations/ used a variety of colors so I decided to try using monochromatic colors like Nichole did.  When I was looking through my ink pad drawer I found a ColorBox chalk cat’s eye set in the colors used below.  Then I found that I had matching paper so I went with it.  I like how the paper turned out.  I stamped an entire sheet of white cs in this print and then cut the size I needed for the two cards.  It’s hard to see but the background paper is a burgundy that matches the big circle image.  I used solid black ribbon from Offray and two staples to finish it.  The thank you sentiment is from TCP Studio Greetings (found at HL).  I will definitely be doing more of these in monochromatic colors!  I’ve been watching the girls at PTI do it for years and have never tried it until now.  Thanks PTI crew!  I’m sure you are all familiar with Papertrey Ink, but if you are now you have to check out the website and Nichole’s blog.  Whenever I need some inspiration I go straight to her blog.
