Fifth Avenue thanks - ftl78

These two cards were made for the Clean & Simple FLT78 - I am having so much fun with these weekly layouts - wish I'd stumbled across them sooner. Layouts seem to be my biggest weakness so a jumpstart in that area really gets my "craft" on! ;)
The paper comes from my new La Creme matstack from Hobby Lobby. See all the lovely black brocade on the patterned paper - that is flocking!! Makes it pretty to see and fun to touch!
The flowers are from the SU! Fifth Avenue Florals stamp set. I did some coloring with my copics and then to add texture to the medallions a Sakura Glaze pen was run over all the edges. Adds a subtle sheen and a fun "wow" factor.
Of course when your card is made of black cardstock you need to add a writing area to the inside. Another piece of flocked paper snazzes it up a bit. The Big Thanks (9-8616C) sentiment from A Muse is the perfect finishing touch.
If you haven't already be sure and check out Clean & Simple stamping. Tell them I sent ya - Not that it would made any difference but it might be fun, right? - "eh, Michelle who??!!"
