Thank You Bunch

Unfortunately, several of these pictures are not great - still learning to get the light right in my new space - but this first one isn't too bad.

I needed a bunch of Thank You cards quickly, so colored some stamped images I had received in a swap to form several of my focals - not sure of the source of all of them. 

I fussy cut the leaf of this daffodil so it would hang over the frame - one of Marianne's Cut-Emboss folders (using a piece of aqua glimmer paper).  Sentiment stamp from HOTP SS "Flower".

This next card had the focal matted on a piece of card stock that had been colored with alcohol inks and embossed in an embossing folder.  I stamped the sentiment (Tiny Words & Images - HOTP) on a strip of paper & cut notches either end - attaching with foam squares in the middle & direct to the focal on the edges.

This picture is very bad.  The card itself is white with blue mat and yellow flowers in a blue vase.  Really pretty in real life!  The picture was colored with Inktense pencils.  The mat was cut using a Spellbinder's die, and the label was cut with a HOTP die.

This scarecrow was colored with inktense pencils & a stamped sentiment (Matching Borders & Focals - HOTP) added before matting it on black paper.  The background is an old HOTP design.

The colors are off on this one too - the card is white!!! Anyway, this is a gate fold card.  The card fronts are scored every 1/8" for a fun look.  The focal is from a stamp set I got from JeJe, colored with Inktense pencils.

This last card is a shaped card from an old PaperFlair card kit (HOTP).  The butterfly didn't fold back on itself like it should have, so I had to "fake it" a bit, but it still turned out pretty cute.  I add googly eyes & beading wire for antennae.  Here's what it looked like opened:
