Hi there, Christine S. here.  I just received a sad news that one of my daughter's favourite preschool teacher will be leaving the centre soon.  She's found a job closer to home & this is very understandable.  No need for long drives & she gets to see her girls more often, not getting home so late.  She's been such a big & important part & we can only wish all the best for her.  This calls for an extra special thank you card, which I'm sharing with you today.

Extra special means lots of layers.  I love the prettiness of the Secret Garden collection, with a bit of mixed media thrown in.  I've lightly applied some gesso at the base of the card.  Once dry, I had a good play with my Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists, & Kaisercraft & Prima stamps.


There's a good variety of ribbon & embellishments at Artfull Crafts, & surely there's something there that will tickle your fancy.  In this card I've added a Butterfly Artfull Embellies & some Vandoros Herringbone Ribbon with a pin through it.


The dies that I've used here are My Favourite Thing's Die-Namics Swirls die (which you can request from the shop) & Kaisercraft's Doily Die.  Some left over from the specialty paper, stickers & collectable pieces are added.  The front of the card is finished off with some mini paper blooms.


Inside I've added a cheeky photo of my (cheeky) daughter for her to keep.  The white doily provides a great writing space inside the card.  Something different, & it really goes well with the Secret Garden papers.
I hope you enjoyed looking at the card with me.  I was very inspired creating it & I hope she'll love it as much as I do.  Remember to appreciate & be thankful to all our wonderful teachers.  They do so much for us & they need to be reminded that often.

Do check out the Secret Garden collection here.  Thanks for dropping by.

Until then,

Christine S.
