A Note of Thanks



So I was cleaning up the craft area (which basically means I was moving stuff around in order to find other stuff), when I came across this panel that I created last month for Winnie & Walter's 2nd Birthday Bash.  At the time, I couldn't find a W&W sentiment in my stash that I thought worked with it, so I ended up setting it aside and only now unearthed it.

The painted panel was based on the one in this inspiration photo that Taheerah supplied:



I just loved that painting and created the panel using a mix of Izink reindeers, Distress Paints, acrylic paint, and gesso.  It was just an exercise in fun and I really wanted to make it the star of the show.



I just added a simple mat, and a sentiment from Papertrey's Happy Trails stamp set, and then popped up the painted panel.

Hope you had a great weekend!  I'll be back tomorrow with a fun Neat & Tangled team up.

  16. Whoah!! That is amazingly inspired, MP! VERY cool! This goes in your (often filled) category of WAY more than just a card. :)
    I also sadly relate to the "cleaning" part. I keep trying and I'm going to use the word "shifting" henceforth. :) :)
