I belong to a group called PEO (Philanthropic Educational Organization ) International. Our main goal is to help each other and to help women who are pursuing a college education with scholarships and encouragement. This month we were visited by a representative from our state chapter who gave us some pointers and encouragement. The ladies asked me to make a thank you card for her to go along with a special gift we bought for her. Our colors are yellow and white and our flower is the marguerite so I tried to incorporate those in the design. I used the Z fold design..... again. Please don't laugh at my water color attempt. Hey, I keep trying. The stamps are from Stampendous and they were embossed in white and colored with distress inks and a water brush. To add a glass effect to my jar I embossed it with UTE three times. The Thanks is from PTI.
Those of you who know me know that unlike my friends Donna and Judy I have a trepidation when it comes to mixing papers. PTI makes that easy for me. I buy their paper packs that have different designs in the same color. Baby steps, my friends. This paper is their harvest gold.
Of course, I had to jazz up the inside with some dies I used Memory Box Wildflower corner and Memory Box Sylvan Corner. For the middle panel I used a Martha Stewart punch and added a few more marguerites (daisies). I also made a matching envelope box, but I forgot to take pictures of it.
I really like how this came out and I welcomed the break from fall and Christmas cards.
