I know I'm always in need of thank you cards, are you?

Here's a quick recipie for making a couple of thank you notes using only some scraps. Best part of these cards... they use the photo paper scraps I always feel guilty throwing away. {as I use various sizes of photos on my layouts, I print my photos at home}

1. Gather your materials: cardstock scrap, photo paper scrap, sticy notes, inks, brayer, thank you stamps & marker.

2. Cover you photo scrap in sticky notes. Create 3 layers of sticky notes, you'll see why shortly.

3. Cover your brayer in ink. Use the darkest ink first; this will be your dominant colour {see the examples above} .

4. Now take the 1st layer of sticky notes off & clean your brayer by rolling it on some other scrap piece of paper. Use the next colour, which should be lighter than the 1st, but darker than the last, to over the now white surface.

5. Remove the last layer of sticky notes & use the last colour to cover the remaining white surfaces.

6. Now, cut this inked piece as you see inspiration & how it will fit the cardstock pieces you have.

7. Once cut, ink the edges in acoordinationg colour & stamp your thank you on it. Embellish your card as you want & voila!

Enjoy!
