Today’s card is a “Thank You” card. This card was inspired by Operation Write Home Card Sketch #5.
Triptych thank you card
I have used a Stampin’ Up! set titled “Upsy Daisy” on this card front. I’ve used Close To Cocoa ink on the stamp.
The card bases are yellow. I’ve made another set of four (4) cards.
Yellow card bases
I went for a monochromatic color theme. Oranges and yellows with brown ink.
Scrap paper used on these cards
The inside of the card was stamped with a Stampin’ Up! set titled “Of The Earth” and I used Close To Cocoa ink on this as well.
Card insert
Here are the four (4) finished cards. Once I had finished making them and had a few minutes to sit back and have a look at them it struck me that I had used fall colors. Wonder if the cooler days are what inspired the color choice?
Finished cards
The scrap and trash left over from creating these cards is just this little pile. There are several pieces I will keep to use on a different project some time.

If you would like to see how this card was created here is a full tutorial video taking you step by step through the entire process to do one of these yourself….or several of them 😀
Hope this has inspired you to go digging around in your scrap paper stash 😀

Fabulous cards Leslie 🙂 Love that stamp too and obviously suits a triptych style. This is one of my favourite techniques and looks good when done in monochrome. Just made a triptych card in black and white for my sister – forgot to take a photo however I do have similar ones that I made for our daughters.
Thank you for the lovely comment on my postcard post, that was the one that went awry and had a huge halo around the bird’s belly and had to turn t over and start again – the second attempt had a smaller halo so obviously improved 🙂
Love and hugs

Such pretty cards.
I like the panels and how the image stretches across them all.

These look great! The flowery panel designs fit so well with one another. Also, I enjoy knowing there’s isn’t much trash left over after the final product! What a fun post!
