Thank You Card with Mulberry Paper

Tuesday, January 4, 2011
I was delighted to receive a pack of mulberry paper in all sorts of colours for Christmas.  My aunt shipped them to me from England.  I made a set of thank you cards using a strip of yellow mulberry paper along the bottom.  (I have the most difficult time with colours being accurate in my photos.  The paper really is a soft shade of yellow and matches the yellow stripes of the patterned paper.)  The other papers used were from a pack I got at Costco a couple of years ago.
The T-H-A-N-K signs were cut from George and Basic Shapes and I used Jubilee for the Y-O-U which I welded together.  I used an EK Success punch for the photo corners and the SO much sentiment and punch are Stampin' Up.  I inked the edges of everything (except the mulberry paper) and highlighted all the letters with a Star Dust Gelly Roll pen.  To finish things off, I added a Prima flower with a gem.  I've had these flowers for ages and never used them but think they are just the right touch for these cards. 

I'm now officially finished all my Christmas thank you cards - creating them AND writing them.  Later today, I'll be making a trip to the post office to send them on their various ways!
