teacher thank you cards

hi there!
today I have a trio of cards up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!

here's a little secret...I actually made 9...yes 9 of this kind of card! ha! I originally made 6 for all of my boys' teachers, end of year thank yous, but then I sent the in to school without taking pictures! lol! so I made 3 more! lol! but that's how easy and fun these are to make!

ok, so I did lots of alcohol inking! so FUN!
I used aquas, blues and even a pop or two of purples! (and of course, some splatters of gold!)

once the backgrounds were dry, I used the Seashells Stencil and some white embossing paste to add texture and a little fun to the sides of the card! amazing!
then I used the new Seashell Roundabout stamp set and heat embossed the phrase onto some aqua cardstock.

then I used the Banner Trio Die Set to die cut out the phrases!!
honestly these cards didn't take too long to make, and I loved every part! I'm not usually a fan of mass producing cards, but sometimes, the occasion calls for it, and it's fun!

be sure to check out the cards on the Newton's Nook blog!
enjoy!
