You’ve got mail!  How fun to get a hand made card in the mail.  Better than bills, Right!  I received this beautiful, yet elegant thank you card from Shelli Gardner, co-founder and ceo of Stampin’Up!  It just made my day!  She sent it from Honollulu, Hawaii (probably from one of the workshops of a lifetime)  To read about my workshop of a lifetime click HERE.

Here is a list of supplies Shelli Used: Chocolate chip, Taken with teal, More mustard & natural ivory cardstocks.  She also used chocolate chip, taken with teal, more mustard and  sahara sand ink.  Stamp sets:  my favorite background stamp En Francais, Bella toille, oval all.  And the best part, she used a combination of alphabets to create the word thank.  How amazing is that!  Her alphabets used were:  lovely letters, wild west, varsity, schoolbook serif.  And finally dazzled this gorgeous card with a half pearl from the pretties kit. Voila!

I will place Shelli’s thank you card in my shadow box in my stamp studio, this way I can look at it, in times of inspiration.
