Thank You!

I shared with you a while back that I've gotten accepted into Pharmacy School for the fall of 2012.  What I didn't share with you were the cards that I made for my interviewers.  The Admissions counselor encouraged us to send thank you notes following our interviews, and after one of my interviewers mentioned that she also enjoys cardmaking, I thought that I should definitely send handmade cards!

I interviewed back in January, and I made both of these cards at the end of January.  I photographed them before sending them, but I didn't have time to get them posted on my blog until now. 

The first one was for a man, so I thought Shannan's sketch would be perfect.  I wanted to stay somewhat CAS for his card.  This card was made in just a matter of minutes once I picked some coordinating papers.  He mentioned that he enjoyed golfing, so I thought that green would be a good color to use for his card.

Supplies
Stamps:  Verve "Celebration of Thanks"
Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black
Papers:  white, dps from Basic Grey "Boxer"
Other:  Olive May Arts 1 1/4" silk ribbon, Bow Easy, Recollections mini rose
Card size:  A2

The second interviewer was a lady who was wearing a pink sweater, so I decided that pink should be the color for her thank you card.  Teresa's sketch was a great starting point since it had a little bit of layering, and I got a feminine feel from it, maybe from the heart?  At any rate, it got my creative wheels turning, and my second card was also pretty quickly made.

The papers I used were a peachy pink color that was hard to match, so I used a variegated pink and peach ribbon to try to tie the colors together.
