Taxes Thank You


I have been trying to come up with a card to thank my father for doing my taxes this year (Yes, that's right, I am 30 years old, with a family of my own, and my wonderful father still does my taxes).
I came up with this card, and I am pretty happy with it. I printed a 1040 tax form, that I made smaller off the computer, onto Ivory card stock and then sponged the edges. I thought about the Boston Tea Party and the beginning of taxes so I made tea boxes and then faux wood-grained them with markers and then stamped TEA on them.


I used the Heartfelt Thanks stamp set for the Thanks on the front and then shaded the letters with a marker to make them stand out more.


I made a little pocket with tea bags to go on the inside too!
