Hello Friends!
I am sharing a Thank You card today. Its made out of left over scraps.
The dimensions of card are 7 X 11 cms after folding. So this may qualify as a Slim Line Card. When I am working with scraps, I don't stick to standard sizes. I don't want to cut off pieces if it is not necessary. Why waste the product as well as money?

Thank You Card |
As you can see the top folding is 1 cm less than the bottom fold, to show the chevron tape added to the inside of the bottom fold.
I drew the flowers with fine tipped black ink pen and then filled in the colours with inks pens.
I did not use any fixative to protect the drawing.
Then I cut off using scalloped oval dies.

Here is a closer look. I am not a great artist. I just doodle it. Moreover I am self taught so my skills are not that perfect.
Actually I doodled lot of flowers and other images sometime back on white card stock scraps. I prefer white card stock as base as they go easily with any other colours and can also be coloured if required.
You know I love to watch old movies with my mom in the afternoons. That's the time we spend together. So while watching it I sometimes take up the drawing and sketching activities.
Also when I am not able to or don't feel like crafting, I prefer to create some of these so that I can use them later on as card toppers.
Only problem is that if I don't space the images properly, it is quite difficult to die cut them. I am not so adept at fussy cutting.
Its good to have stock of such images as you can easily create a card in emergency.
Stamps are so costly, especially when they are branded ones. I can't spend so much money on them. It takes time to build a stash of craft materials.
When I started crafting, there were not many online shops. The few shops were only selling branded stamps. So I prefer drawing my own images.
Since the flowers were pink, I used matching pink coloured card stock. In fact I was too glad to use my florescent card stock. It is very difficult to use them in card making as colour combos are difficult to match.

Card Insert |
For the card insert, I added a punched out matching pink paper.
