Here is an easy card to give to someone if you are in a pinch for a thinking of you card. I first used silver striped paper that I applied ink to.  I blended three colors to achieve the colors. I started with yellow at the top then orange for the middle then red at the bottom. I then die cut a circle from the colored paper and stamped the leaf design in red ink.  I added a brown scallop circle to make the leaf design stand out.  To finish the card off I die cut a banner and stamped thinking of you.

For this card I first used an embossing folder with a Greek Key design for the background on this light purple card stock.  I punched out postage stamp in dark purple and again in white.  For the white one I stamped an iris flower in purple and the leaves in green and mounted it on the dark purple stamp. I then took a long strip of white card stock and stamped, Have a perfect birthday.

The colors of pansies are so versatile there are purple and yellow ones, red and purple and even white they are like a breath of fresh air to see in the early spring.  I wanted this card to be a cheer me up kinda card for the recipient so I used colored pencils that would do just that.

I colored both of these cards the same the only difference is the card base, one is light purple and the other is a dark purple.  The sentiment could be used for just about anything from birthday to get well.
