Flower in Vase - 'Thanks so much' Card

Give THANKS to the Lord, for he is good;

his love endures forever.

I Chronicles 16 : 34

Welcome to Digi Desserts Fridaze in connection with My Paper Crafting !    We, on the Design Team, are to create a project using a Digital File from the vast selection at MyPaperCrafting.com every Friday, share them with You and encourage You to visit over there, get the FREE Digi File for today, make a project with it and link it for all to see.  The ‘winning’ designer is highlighted next week as a Guest Designer!   It’s an easy and fun thing to do on the weekend! 

For this week’s project I used the Free File offered 2 weeks ago on the TotallyTags and ATCs post on MyPaperCrafting.  There are usually Vintage Digi Files offered on Thursdays and I just LOVE using them on my projects and giving them ‘An Elegant Touch…’!  There are usually several ‘color options’ in each file, allowing for a vast amount of creativity along that line and sometimes I also put them in my FREE “Perfect Effects Free” program which offers even more color shading availability.  This time I used one that Melin had offered – in which she changed the original bright colors to a ‘coolwash’ and subdued jewel tones.  I used it last week, also, having printed it on photo paper which produced a bright, clear picture.  This time I printed it on white, cardstock which gave it a soft, muted effect.  I made a totally  different card.

 

I ripped cardstock in coordinating colors to use as mats.  I adhered them each with foam pads to make each layer raised from the one underneath.  I punched the edge of a white cardstock card.  I adhered a piece of olive green cardstock underneath the punched edge.   I stamped the sentiment ('Thanks so much') in olive green ink.  I added golden yellow gems to the flower centers in the punched edge.

 

Here is the file I used -
