Thanks!

I was asked to create a thank you card by the director of the food pantry that I volunteer at.  One of the local banks recently did a peanut butter and jelly food drive and gave part of what they collected to our food pantry.  So I created this card as a thank you from those who run and volunteer at the food pantry. 

To create my card I used the week 1 sketch at Viva La Verve.

 

I started with a light purple card base and added a piece of white card stock that I embossed using a dot embossing folder.  Then I added a piece of lavender floral patterned paper.  Across the top I punched a piece of light purple card stock using an eyelet lace border punch and added it to a piece of the lavender floral patterned paper.  The sentiment is stamped onto a piece of white card stock that I punched out using a real estate border punch and then backed it in light purple card stock.  I layered a purple fabric mini flower to a white glitter fabric flower.  I added a pearl to the center of the flower and leaves and branches that I punched out of sage green and light purple card stock.  I also punched butterflies out of light purple card stock.  I added snowflake pearls and star dust stickles to the larger butterfly and star dust stickles to the smaller butterflies.
