August was a pretty chaotic month with a lot of changes at work. One of my long-time co-workers left to pursue a new adventure in another province and I was stuck for a gift. I didn't want to give her a card, so I gave her a bunch of cards. These cards were put together on short notice in two evenings. I didn't even sketch it out - just hoped that everything would come together!
This isn't the first time I combined Lilypad Lake and Waterfront sets. They compliment each other very well. All I needed for the cards were some Very Vanilla bases, Whisper White cardstock fronts and scrap Pretty Peacock cardstock. I made a mask from scrap paper for the clouds and sponged around it. A little Memento and markers and the sailboats were coloured in. There were very few steps required in the end.
If I were to make this card again, I would add a background stamp - Birch maybe - to the bases. There will be more thank you sets in the future. It's a gift that just keeps on giving :-)
