A Vertical Thank You

Good morning!  What do you say to a pink and teal thank you card?  I have used an array of Spellbinders for this one, but what fun it was!  Labels Twenty provided the backdrop for the focal element.  I then cut out two consecutive sizes of the Fleur de Lis squares and cut them both in half from top to bottom.  I mounted them to the outside edge of the teal label twenty die cut, leaving a gap in the centre.  I stamped my sentiment on to a pale pink card and cut it with one of the fancy tag two dies.  I cut two more of those out of the same pale pink and then cut two more out of a slightly darker hue of pink.  The last two die cuts were then cut in half from tip to tip to be used as a shadow for each side of the pale pink die cuts.  All three die cuts were then mounted vertically in the centre of the gap left by the square fleur de lis die cuts.  I really like this primarily because the tags are almost always used for horizontally placed text stamps (and they are brilliant for that!), but don't let that restrict the way in which you use these dies.  Think about cutting them in half so that the two end pieces are in tact and using them as extender pieces for label dies or even as fancy borders around your labels.  I used a few matching colours of the vintage ribbon to ruche and make a bow to embellish the bottom of the card.  I added some decorative pearl pins and some swirly pearlies to the background to finish the card.  Just have fun playing with your Spellbinders and you never know what you will come up with!  All for now, Sue x
