Today’s quick Thank You card is just that – fast to put together. I’m working with previously created backgrounds, some Distress Spray Stain, and a sentiment die to complete.
Check you my YouTube channel to see the video tutorial – link is below!
Let’s get started!
For these quick thank you cards, I started with a couple panels I previously created. They were easy to prepare. I began by stamping and heat embossing the Geometric Landscape (Altenew) background onto watercolor panels. Next, I used the Ink Smooshing technique and Distress Spray Stain to apply color to the panels. To see another post detailing this process, Click Here.
I repeated this process on an additional two panels today, for use with the sentiment. I added a few spritz of water to lighten the color a bit, then my Heat It Craft Tool helped dry the panels so I was able to move on quickly to the next steps.
Sentiment die cutting came next – the text from cardstock matching the embossing color on each card, the outline/background from the new ink smooshing panels just created. In addition, I cut card bases to match the text and embossing for each card.
Liquid glue and adhesive foam adhered everything together.
And there we have it, quick thank you cards complete!
Ink Smooshing is one of my go to techniques. It’s easy and fun to do, and the color variations and interest created in the panels is always fascinating to me. What are your go to techniques in card making? I would love to hear about them in the comments below.
