Thanks With A Flourish


I work in a school library, and there is always a ton of work to do.  I have a helper mom who comes on Thursdays, our busiest day, to shelve books for me.  I am so grateful to her for all that she does.  Tomorrow is that last day of school, so I wanted to make her a card and give her a THANK YOU gift.  I got my inspiration from today's One Layer Wednesday Challenge which is to use a flourish in your project.  The beautiful SU set Baroque Motifs came immediately to my mind.  I then went to Color Throwdown #145 for my color inspiration.

I did not have Pear Pizazz ink, so I used some bling that is very close in color.  The sentiment is from PTI's  Blooming Button Bits.  I sponged around the edges with Ranger Antique Linen Distress Ink.  I love the way this turned out. Simple and poignant.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a lovely day!

    Beautiful! And I'm another mom who shelves books at her kids' school library. How kind of you to acknowledge your volunteer's efforts!
