Thank You Card to Miss Belle

I sure love Miss Belle.

She's the 82 year old sweet lady that I just flew to Florida to visit.

Me & my very BFF, Carmel, left Louisiana and took a well deserved vacation together for the first time in 

44 years of best friendship to see this wonderful lady.  

She was friends with my parents and I grew up loving her deeply.

So, after a wonderful visit with her, I decided to create a special thank you card for her.

She loves pretty things, so I tried to make this dainty and pretty. 

 I gained inspiration from Laura Lindhorst to use this older K&Company collection

 featuring the art of wonderful Susan Winget.

It's so pretty and I know Miss Belle will love it!

 I started with plain chipboard that I cut and scored to design my card.

I covered the outside of this card with beautiful floral print; 

gluing on lace to the curved edge and overlaying the paper on top.

To the spine, I painted a gorgeous acrylic Lavender color.

I then glued dainty beaded lace.

All edges were inked with Purple Sharpie Highlighter.

I placed a really pretty lavender resin rose flower on the front of the card.

Pretty floral stickers from this collection really added some beauty.

The inside of the card was also lined with a paper in the same collection to coordinate.

Then Stickers in this collection were added for a fun and sentimental way of expressing my love for Miss Belle.

I made a pocket and a ticket-tag to go inside.

One side I wrote a personal note to Miss Belle.

The other side I placed meaningful stickers 

 

 I used 49 and Market flowers

and a beautiful dragonfly from Reneabouquets

And on the backside of the card, I wrote Miss Belle a special note.

Thanks for your visit and I wish you a very Happy Easter.
