Bit of Thanks

My niece was hurt horribly in the Joplin Tornado, she spent 2 long weeks in the hospital but now, thankfully is doing very well.  My brother and I are going to start sending out Thank-Yous for all the wonderful gifts friends & strangers alike sent to her.  Here's a bit of what I made for them:

This one I made using Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks on glossy paper for the background. Then used Lumalights paint with TH's Papillon stamp set and an old wood-mounted Thank-You with Staz-On

Next came a card I made for a Crop Chocolate (see Shopping on my sidebar) challenge that was Monochrome.  My background paper is from For The Record by Echo Park, the ribbon is Making Memories 5th Avenue, stamp sets are from Basic Grey using Close To My Heart Outdoor Denim Ink Pad, brad is from Making Memories.

and these guys were made for a Unity Stamp challenge to make a one-layer card.  The white bird is actually the cardstock card.  I made the white one first then decided I should do a "reverse" so I could use the funky little fusy cut bird because he was just too cute to put in the trash can!  Bird & music stamps are from Unity, white embossing powder from Stampin Up; Smooch Spritz, Staz-on in Black & Twine from The Twinery.

for the very last card, you'll have to wait for the PPC post to come, but I'll give you a sneaky peaky:

flowers, cardstock & stamp set from Stampin Up, ink from Close To My Heart
