The Weekly Deals by Stampin Up have provided you with the opportunity to get your hands on current product at reduced prices.  The last week for the deals is  Tuesday, April 12th – Monday, April 18, 2016.  Don’t delay if you are looking at something you really want because the amount of stock on these items are limited.

Today, my share is a Thank You card using the Smackdown Technique.  This technique is so fun that I had to create another card using it.  I decided to do a Thank You card because it is nice to have these on hand.  It seems that art of sending mail is going away as we use Social Media to keep in touch.

Recipe

Stamps: Bloom With Hope, Another Thank You.

Ink/Markers: Tuxedo Black, Perfect Plum, Crushed Curry, Old Olive.

Paper: Whisper White Thick, Whisper White, Perfect Plum, Old Olive.

Accessories: Big Shot, Lovely Lace Embossing Folder, 1” Circle Punch, Hello Honey 3/8” Stitched Ribbon, White Gel Pen, Aqua Brush, Sponge Daubers.

I used the Bloom for Hope stamp set which is a retired host set.  I was really sad to see this stamp retire, however, I did hang on to mine.  It has wonderful sayings for birthdays and sympathy cards.  The images are also great for watercoloring.

I followed the same layout and technique as the card in this post and changed up the colours and stamp sets.  In the post I explained how you can do the Smackdown technique.

The flower was watercoloured using the Aqua Paint Brush and Perfect Plum ink. The leaves were punched using the 1″Circle Punch.  Again, you can see a more detailed explanation of how to use the circle punches to create leaves.

Don’t forget to check out the final week of the Weekly Deals.
