Here are the instructions so you too can create this elegant thank you card...

1. Cut Season of Elegance Designer Series Paper at 7.5 cm x 11.5 cm (3" x 4-1/2") and adhere to the front of a Basic White Note Card.
2. Cut Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper at 7.5 cm x 4 cm (3" x 1-1/2").  Individually ink each tree in the tree-line image from the Peaceful Evergreens stamp set using Pretty Peacock, Old Olive, and Mossy Meadow Stampin' Write Markers and stamp on the watercolour paper.
3. Place the stamped watercolour paper on a Silicone Craft Sheet (to keep your workspace clean and dry) and saturate it using a Stampin' Spritzer filled with water.  Leave the ink bleed for a time and then dry with a Heat Tool.
4. Re-ink each tree in the tree-line stamp with the same Stampin' Write Markers and stamp again on the watercolour paper.
5. Cut Old Olive cardstock at 7.5 cm x 5 cm (3" x 2").  Stamp "THANK YOU" from the Simply Said stamp set along the bottom edge of the Old Olive cardstock with VersaMark ink, add white embossing powder, and heat set.  Adhere watercolour paper above the heat-embossed words and add the panel to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
6. Add a scattering of three Gold Textured Adhesive-Backed Dots across the card front.

We used this same watercolour technique on the Christmas card we created at the Hamilton Christmas Extravaganza.  It is a simple, fun technique and I love the soft, moody effect it creates.

Now you too can create this beautiful card using your favourite sentiments.  As I said, the Peaceful Evergreens stamp set is not just for Christmas!
