Thank you card

starThankyouSml

I just had to make a card for Peter who was an enormous help repairing and sorting out some medical equipment for me over the last month.  I know the NHS is always in the news because they have got something wrong again but just where would I be without the good old NHS.  Due to modern technology I have been able to pee by means of electrical impulses sent to the bladder via an external transmitter along with an internal receiver.  When the equipment is all working correctly (which it does most of the time) you tend to take it for granted and it is only when things go wrong do you remember just how much you rely on it to go about your daily activities.  So many thanks to Peter at Finetech and also to Mr Fraser at the Spinal unit and most importantly to Professor Brindley who came up with the idea for a sacral implant all those years ago.

The inspiration for this card is again from The Craft Stamper magazine, October issue 2011 by Jo Capper-Sandon and it uses the free stamp from that issue.

Inks:  Dylusions Cyan, Vanilla custard,and Amber ink sprays, and a neon yellow spray, Black stazon ink
Card:  watercolour paper, white card, blue textured card
Stamp:  free Star stamp, Stampin up Thank you
Other:  The Crafters worshop Mini cubist mask. white gel pen, black Pitt pen, glitter pen, yellow highlighter pen

You can never have too many thank you cards when you have  babies (or so I have been informed) so this is a pouch or wee bag with 16 mini thank you cards I made for Kat’s baby shower.  I can’t believe that I didn’t use a single stamp when making these cute little cards.  The images are dingbats coloured with copic pens.

Card: white, pink, patterned paper, yellow and blue vellum
Dingbats/fonts: 2peasDW oh baby! (images) and 2peas Gingersnap (text)
twopeasinabucket dingbat fonts
Other:  tiny safety pins, tiny baby bottles, ribbon, mini rik-rak, white fun flock, daisy
