Thank you, Nichole!

This post is dedicated to Nichole Heady, who is such an inspiration to many of us! We want her to know how appreciated she is so we are posting cards in her honor to let her know how much she inspires us. Thank you Nichole for all that you do!! This card is for YOU!



When I think of Nichole's stamping style, I think clean and soft with a touch of glitter. Spring Moss and Aqua Mist were the first colors released by Papertrey Ink, so I used those colors for this card.



I stamped Thank You from Big & Bold Wishes (PTI) in versamark, clear embossed it and then sponged on Aqua Mist & Spring Moss ink. I then outlined Stickles glitter over the clear letters and attached the panel with pop dots.

Thanks again, Nichole! You really do bring joy to so many lives with what you do. Thank YOU!
