Note Cards

I made these note cards for a gift for my mother-in-law for her birthday.  I wanted to give her something useful and heartfelt...and something I really thought she'd like.  I was having a hard time coming up with an idea and then I remembered some adorable note cards that my friend Jackie from Stampin' Up! made a few weeks ago.  Working with her idea as my inspiration, I used the Water Trio stamp set, Stamp n Write pens to add multiple colors to one stamp, and some bright colored cardstock.

And here they are...

Look carefully and you will see the darker tips on the flowers in the stamped image on the right.  Using the Stamp n Write markers, I colored the flower with blue, then went back over the tips with a darker color (a dark purple).  I love the effect!!

I did the same two-tone effect on these - the tips of the flowers are a darker color.

The finished product packaged and ready to give as a gift!

Happy stampin'!
