I have really been digging seeing black & white with a pop of color. I couldn’t wait to use up the last of my True Love Designer Series Paper for this pretty Thank You Card. Little strips of the black & white paper accented with pops of Pale Papaya and of course, PEACHES! So fun!

Let’s Create
- Affix all stamps to Acrylic Blocks.
- Fold the Card Base in half using a Bone Folder to sharpen the crease.
- Use the adhesive of choice to attach the Basic Black Background.
- Create the Decorative Strips Layer
- First cut your strips. They should be about 3 1/2″ h x varying widths. I made about 12 and needed 10, but it depends on their width.
- Attach the strips to the Pale Papaya Decorative Strips Matte.
- Next on Basic White scrap Stamp:
- Two peaches in Pale Papaya ink, with Calypso Coral ink sponge daubed on 1/2.
- Three flowers (one stamp) in Pale Papaya ink with Calypso Coral centers.
- Two peach stems in Pear Pizzaz ink
- Leaves (one stamp) in Pear Pizzaz ink.
- Die cut the peaches, flowers, stems and leaves.
- Stamp your Sentiment on Basic White Scrap and cut to size.
- Use Tear & Tape to attach a piece of Ribbon to the Decorative Strips layer, and then arrange your Sentiment, peaches, flowers, stems and leaves. Once you have them where you want them, adhere to the page. I used a variety of Stampin’ Dimenionals and Stampin’ Seal+.
- Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Decorative Strips Layer to the Basic Black Background.
- Sprinkle on some pearls!!
- Stamp and attach your Inside Layer.
- Decorate your envelope.
- LOVE!! Who will you send it to?
