Thankful


Last night was our monthly stamp club meeting and we were playing with shoeboxes – one of our favorite things to do.  Everyone creates a themed card and brings all the supplies for everyone to make their card.  We pass these around and spend the evening making each other’s. cards.  Such fun!! 


Our theme was two types of texture.  For my card I used a dry embossed background and added a “hay bale” made with drywall tape and embossing powders.  I colored the tape with permanent ink and added it to a piece of cream cardstock.  After trimming the edges and rounding the corners, I stippled it with VersaMark Ink and sprinkled on some Antique Gold and Buttercup Petal EP.  The image is from Sparkle N Sprinkles Harvest-Pumpkins set and the sentiment is from the Fall Leaves Stampette Set.  I added some greenery by using a Lacey Pumpkin Corner Flourish die.  You can find detailed instructions here. 

Happy Fall Ya’ll!!
