Bella Thank You's

In the 10 for 10 that I've been a part of for the past 7 years or so, one of our members lost her husband this past Christmas season.  My heart goes out to her.  As a group we decided to make her bundles of cards so that after the funeral she can send thank-you's out to others if she needs to. 

I wanted these to be simple, and yet classic.  The CAS Challenge at SCS today is to have something "cut out" on your design, and I had an idea right away.

I think this stamp set gives that really dramatic statement, but is so elegant at the same time.  I stamped the flower in Barely Banana and Certainly Celery.  I used an "out of the box" cut on the right hand side for some added interest.  Then I stamed the center of the flower again, cut it out and then sponged it with Apricot Appeal, then added it with a dimensional. 

I don't usually do pastels, but I thought the yellows were great for the flower, and hopeful feeling.  Here's another look at the dimension. 

Sorry for the slightly dark photos, it's nice and warm here today, but totally cloudy, so my OTT light had to do.  I sponged the outside of the card layer to give it depth.  So, simple, but I think classic.  Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back tomorrow, hope you will too!  :)
