This is the thank you card I made after the birth of my daughter. It was a very difficult time in my life. I was recovering from an emergency caesarean along with suffering from sever postpartum depression. It was amazing how many people came out of the woodwork to help me and my family. I had meals delivered every night for 2 weeks. Groups came over to clean my house. They donated diapers and two years worth of baby clothes. Needless to say, I made a lot of these cards.

The image was rolled with a wheel in black ink and color washed with aqua painters. I layered it over torn cardstock. The "Thanks" tag is anchored with hodgepodge hardware treaded through twill tape and set off with grosgrain ribbon.

Last spring, I participated in charity event for breast cancer survivors. The ladies in this group meet once a year for fun, relaxation, camaraderie and support. My friend Dave and I designed and prepared several projects for them to make and take home with them. What a blast! This card is one of the projects we did.

This card is a variation of the previous one.

This card was fun to make for a demo swap. However, we were suppose to pick a card that was featured in the Fall Collection and create a replica or slight variation. Oops. Somehow those instructions escaped me, and I did my own thing.

I love the color combinations on this one. Setting it off with black makes it look very classy. I added undyed Bella fancy fibers and a pink rhinestone brad to finish it off.
