A Flourish of Thank You's!
Good Saturday morning (oops, wait it’s afternoon now)! I slept in a little late this morning. I love those Saturdays when you don’t have to set an alarm, wake up when you want to, and just loll around. The only problem is this Saturday I slept until 10:30. Now for those of you who know me, this is completely out of the ordinary for me and quite frankly I was astounded and muttered to myself that half my day was gone already. I suppose I needed the sleep though and that was my body’s way of telling me!
Last night everything around here was quiet. The girls were gone, Sydney was on a road trip with Kate, I was watching a movie and chatting a little on Splitcoast. My mind was running with all the stamping projects I need to get done and the time frame in which I have to do them. When out of the blue – it hit! An idea for Mallory’s thank you cards for Graduation. Being the creative wonder that I am, when it came time to order the Graduation announcements, etc., thank you cards were not something I was willing to pay for. Hey, I could use that money for other stamping stuff – 
! Anyhoo, the idea just popped into my head and off I ran to the studio and here’s the result!
Using the bigger flourish from Pollen Dust by fancy pants design (that I picked up from eclectic Paperie) I stamped it in Real Red on Whisper White. Of course, the school colors are red and white. I also stamped Thank You from SU’s Warmest Regards in Real Red and embossed the entire card in a combination of holographic and kaleidoscope EP. (I don’t know about you, but when I get a little low on EP, I will mix it all together for a sometimes interesting EP.) The front image panel was then mounted on Real Red and put on a card base of white. Mallory likes them so all is well with the world!

Simplistic Beauty! I tried to order pollen dust from E.P. website yesterday and much to my chagrin they were OUT OF STOCK !! Ugh what to do, what to do! I guess I’ll wait til they get some more!
Gorgeous!!!
What a elegant card. I received your card today and the ribbon goodies, thank you. The card is so much nicer in person, it is beautiful. That is one card that won’t be going anywhere.
I love those cards! I am a big believer that simple designs and stamping are the way to go… nice.
Oh, Sherry, these are gorgeous! Don’t you just love those swirls? Especially that big one. Such a wow for your whole card.
I love them! simple and beautiful color!
That’s a great “classy” card! Love the red.

WOW! 🙂 this is beautiful!
I saw these over at SCS , and they are just so lovely! I bet they sparkle so much with the EP. Perfect!
These are gorgeous! I love the red and white combo so much, it makes them look so elegant.
I do that with my EP’s too. Currently I have a combo of clear ep, dazz diamonds, mixed with some silver ep. Haven’t used it yet but I can’t wait.
Total perfection! I love the elegance.
