Well the countdown to Thanksgiving has begun. Do you have all your supplies/ingredients?? I'm ready ... I think. I have to work monday-wednesday though. So I want begin cooking til Thursday. It's just my son, husband and myself here in Texas, so no rush. It's my first thanksgiving without my daughter. I will miss cooking with her. But we still have so much to be thankful for!!
So I think a couple of thank you cards are appropriate!
Stamps : Vintage Roses and Royal Birds clear art stamp sets
DP - Melissa Frances from my October Shabby Kit from Pixie Dust Paperie. You can actually purchase the DP seperate from the kit now that they have moved on to the November kit.
Glitter on the roses and the sticker label - Martha Stewart
Sentiment rub-on - Pebbles Inc.
Colorization - Copics RV00, RV11, G000, G21, G24.
Challenges
Card Patterns - sketch
Create: - Thank You card
Tuesday Throwdown - buttons and bows
ABC Design Blog - faux sewing
Stampin' Royalty - Patterned Paper
I stamped this thank you card using Garden Wall Frame cling art stamp. It's compatible with the Spellbinders Labels 14 die!
I just love this image!
Lots to Do is looking for your favorite technique.
Stencil Technique with modeling paste
One of my favorite techniques right now is anything I do with my Layers of Color art stencils. This particular stencil is Botanical Swirls. For this card I used modeling paste. So easy and adds so much dimension. You want to use a thick cardstock or watercolor paper though or the paper may buckle a little. After it drys just brush on some ink.
CES wants us to use lace, one of my favorites!
And I LOVE it when I can find it in colors. Another option is to by beige or white and spray is with color, paint it, or use your copic markers!
Creative Card Crew - thank you
