Thank you in Blue

I begin the process of making a card or set of cards for someone by asking for their favorite colors.  This set was inspired by Benjamin Moore paint colors which reminded them of time spent strolling along the ocean: catalina blue and kittery point green.  I was best able to match the bluest of the two hues.

There are three "thank you" cards, two "best wishes", and one "wish big" card to cover a variety of situations.



This was my first time EVER using buttons.  Bill and I were both pleasantly surprised by the results.




Often, the paper design dictates placement.  In this card, the "thank you" sentiment is placed lower than the "best wishes" pair (below).  The swirl just had to be preserved.
