Inspiring Canopy Thank You Card

Hello, and Happy New Year!! Thank you so much for visiting my blog! It's time for Kylie Bertucci's January International Blog Highlights contest, and I have made a special card for it. If you like it, I hope that you will vote for mePlease click on the button below to go to Kylie's blog, and vote by clicking on the top right corner of the thumbnail of my card (#7), until you see the heart turn red. Thank you so much for your support!!

Now that Christmas is over, it's time for me to make a non-Christmas card. But we've had so much snow here, and it's been so cold, I decided a winter thank you card was in order. This card is a version inspired by two cards I made previously--it's a combination of a Penguin Place card and an Inspiring Canopy card. I hope you like it!


I used Shimmery White cardstock, Blending Brushes, Sponge Daubers, and cut Post-it Notes to create the sky. I just love how easily this all comes together when you use these brushes!! They're amazing! The trees are cut from Basic White cardstock, and then painted with Wink of Stella to give them some shimmer! Our new Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (158130)--available in our new January to June mini catalogue (which goes live January 4th--woohoo!!)--are the perfect embellishment to finish this card.
  1. Cut the following layers:
    • Balmy Blue: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4"
    • Basic Black: 5-1/4" x 4"
    • Shimmery White Cardstock: 5-1/16" x 3-13/16"
    • Basic White cardstock: 3-1/4" x 4"
  2. Cut some Post-it notes to form the hills and snowbanks, and place on the Shimmery White cardstock. 
  3. Colour the sky using a Blending Brush, starting with Flirty Flamingo for the sun, and then adding Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Balmy Blue, and Pacific Point ink. Use Sponge Daubers and a small amount of Balmy Blue ink just above each snowbank.
  4. Stamp sentiment (from Lovely You) in Memento.
  5. Cut the trees from Basic White, paint generously with Wink of Stella, and adhere to card front.
  6. Cut a 6-1/2" piece of ribbon and adhere to back of Shimmery White card front with mini glue dots. Glue card front to Basic Black layer, and then to Balmy Blue card base.
  7. Add three Iridescent Rhinestones to finish card.
