Life Card Gift Set

This set is a gift for my son’s teacher. I tried to use a variety of sentiments that she will need. I find that hard to do when I don’t know who the card is for.

Life gift set1

I stamped various floral images from Life set by PTI, one of my all time faves. The more I use it though, the more I realize that I prefer my results when I stick to a somewhat monotone colour palette. And I don’t always have to stick to completely realistic colours either. One time I used various blues and neutrals and I like it the best over any I’ve done so far. All of the two colour stamping was done with markers.

I stamped matching envelopes and put them in a clear box which is my favourite way to present cards if I don’t have time to make a box. It is sturdy and looks quite professional.

Enjoy, Rebecca
