Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Hoping you are having a wonderful day. Especially for those of you having to work on this holiday. That was me for over 30 years, I know how tough it can be. I am grateful for your staying with me on my stamping journey.
Today’s card is one that expresses gratitude and could be used for any occasion that requires it. We all have the need for these type cards.
STAMPS
There are a mix of Autumn products used today. The sentiment is from the Autumn Leaves stamp set. This is a stamp set ,with matching dies, that carried over. I was thrilled that it did. The leaves are gorgeous and it has great sentiments.
DIES and EMBOSSING
To create the fun focal layer I used a mix of Dies from the Autumn Leaves Die set. The sentiment and the two leaves are from that Die set. There are additional leaves, as well as some detail dies and another sentiment frame.
The background of this card has a special feature. Sadly it does not show very well. I used the Changing Leaves Embossing Folder to emboss the DSP. This is the first time I have ever embossed DSP. I have stamped on it , and Die cut it, but never embossed. Woohoo! A new adventure! And to add some additional detail, I used a Blending Brush and Shaded Spruce Ink to go over the embossed leaves to help them stand out. I did not go very dark, just a light color. That may be why it doesn’t show as well in the photo. Sorry about that.
PAPERS
The star paper is this gorgeous background layer. This is from the Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper. It is one of the reverse sides of the watercolor sheets. I used a layer of Blackberry Bliss to help pull out the darker splotches. To add green to the purple colors I went with a bright, but dark, shade. I chose Shaded Spruce. I love it and Blackberry Bliss together. I will keep this in mind.
EXTRAS
The Die cut pieces are wonderful “extras”. Additionally I have used the Woven Gold Leaves. These are a great standout for any card where leaves work. And there must be more. To add my bling, I opted for the Purple Shimmer Dots. I chose the darkest of the shades. They are scattered around the card.
