Welcome to InKing Royalty’s November Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around GRATEFUL. Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and we are grateful you’ve stopped by. We are excited to share our Thanksgiving-themed or grateful-centered projects with you! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
The card I made is definitely a “grateful” card, but with a more monotone look to it. My colors came from probably my most favorite designer series paper of all time, The Come To Gather DSP.
I have probably used every single piece of this DSP. Today I paired two that are both of the same tone. Maybe I misspoke on them being monochromatic. Whatever they are, I love them!!
I die cut leaves using the Gathering Leaves Dies from Mint Macaron and Pretty Peacock. The die both embosses and cuts the leaves. I then added Clear Wink of Stella to the leaves for some sparkle. I decided to add a touch more and went with the Leaf Punch and punched two leaves using the Mercury Glass Designer Acetate.
The sentiment is from A Big Thank You stamp set and is stamped using Pretty Peacock Ink. It was then cut with the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The background sentiment layer is cut with these dies as well. The sentiment layer was shortened using the technique of matching up the “stitched lines”. I completed the card with a Whisper White Baker’s Twine bow.
For me It was very difficult to leave all of that open space. But I sat on my hands and wouldn’t allow myself to add more! LOL!!!

I love this layout and the beautiful collage of monochromatic leaves. The colors in this card are perfect for this time of year. I’m so glad you could hop with us today, Jackie! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank You! I really did make the card before you sent the banner! That is twice I have used the same DSP as the banner. We must be on the same wavelength. 🙂
I like your colors for autumn. Pretty card. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you!!
What a beautiful card! You did a great thing with your open space. I know that it goes against everything but you did it brilliantly. Love your colors. I think they are monochromatic! Thank you for creating such an amazing card!
Thank You! It was hard to leave that empty, but I think the DSP is pretty alone.
Your monochromatic color scheme is very calming! Love the leaves, and that DSP is gorgeous!
Oh Thank You! I love the DSP and how they work together.
Great layout and beautiful colors Jackie.
Love this DSP and the way you combined the cardstock and the Mercury glass specialty paper. The Mercury glass makes such a pretty statement while letting the colors behind it show through. Great card.
A beautiful card and what skills! Not only do you produce gorgeous cards – your’re psychic too! 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving!
