I just got home from an 18-day all expense paid trip to Singapore. All because my beloved cousin wanted me to experience watching Phantom of the Opera live. It was an amazing trip spent with so many loved ones; my heart feels overwhelmed and my eyes fill up in gratitude. I have so many people to thank so I’m on a mission to make thank you cards for the people who took the time to make special moments and memories with me.
I just completed the first of many for a special person who’s like my adopted mother. We shared many laughs and she made some tough times more palatable.
For this card, I experimented with distress inks. I’ve had them sitting in my ink tin for a while, but I’ve never taken them out to play with them. I cut out a background image using my Brother Scan and Cut machine and used that as a stencil. I find that I’m pretty happy with the result considering it’s my first go at distressing!
