Lots of Thank Yous!

 Hi all!  Sorry I've been in the missing list for a while ... A combination of COVID finally catching up with us (and totally flooring me), a major lack of mojo and a blogging break, and a week's holiday thrown in for good measure!  But in the mix was a wee order for 60 Thank You cards, which I have to confess was a bit of a struggle!  I couldn't face making 60 the same so made 4 batches.  Apologies in advance for the extra long post!!

First up are made with my lovely floral stamps from Penny Black.  I added some pale blending to the background in various colours though it doesn't show in the photo.  Die is an oldie from Gummiapan.  Flowers coloured with polychromos and popped up on foam pads. 


Penny Black Saturday June - anything goes 
Daisy Chain challenge #75 - no designer paper 
Allsorts #733 - blooms, bees or butterflies 
Fab'n Funky #575 - use a sentiment 

Next up uses a real oldie from Neat & Tangled - i always find him difficult to colour which is probably why he doesn't get inked often!  I have a bit of pale stencilling and some splattered orange metallic paint in the background, not sure where the dies are from, possibly Creative-Depot.  


Another Penny Black stamp for this batch, probably the quickest made as there was no faffing about and no fussy cutting! 


And lastly, and 100% inspired by the MFT Design Team! ....


And just to finish, a wee photo of Molly at Waterfoot beach during my week off, as per usual refusing to look at the camera.  And what a week it was ... wall to wall sunshine with neither a coat nor umbrella in sight!!

All these thank you cards are SO awesome!I love them all, but my very favorite one is the first one. Love the geometric background piece.

I'm so sorry you had to suffer through COVID. We caught it this year, too, after three years of avoiding it. I guess it was inevitable. We were able to take Paxlovid, which helped shorten its duration.

Wow, these thank you cards are gorgeous! I’ve been asked to make one card and I’m struggling, let alone 60! 😂 Looks like a well deserved break you had, lovely beach and great pic of Molly. I do hope you’re feeling much better now xxx

Hope you’re fully recovered from COVID now Lynne.

A lovely collection of cards but I’m most taken with the first because of that wonderful background die which really sets off the stamped image. X
