There is no such thing as gratitude unexpressed


Sharing another thank you card, this one features one of the images from the Papertrey Ink set Orchid Expressions.



This is a fab layering stamp set that lets you build as much of the complete image, a lovely orchid spray in a pot with a bamboo stake, as you want.  For this I used just the orchid spray itself and did the orchid in shades of yellow as I used the colour palette over at Sunday Stamps.

You need to use a minimum of three colours from the palette so on top of the yellow and orange on my flowers I’ve also used some of the greens on my stencilled background.  I then used yellow and green again in my mats.

The layout of my card is from the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, where I’ve just made it under the wire to enter.  I had to make the main element a bit smaller because I wanted to use up a scrap of stamping paper rather than cut into a whole new sheet.

Given my bright colours and flower image along with the cute bee charm I think this is a very spring inspired card so I am also linking it up at Sparkles Monthly for their current spring themed challenge.
