Fritz did really well--not at all anxious about them & was glad to have more people to play with. Today was gorgeous, but freezing. Fritz is a sun lover & wanted to be on the deck like in the summer. Isn't he cute in the fleece jacket that kept Keesha warm for years?I needed another Thanksgiving card, so made one that I'm entering in the challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs. I really love the wheat stamp from the retired set, Our Daily Bread. I stamped it in Distress Ink wild honey using the generational technique. The full strength images are highlighted with Distress Stickles scattered straw. I added some splotches of Distress Stain tarnished brass. The PTI word is cut from textured brown cardstock & mounted to another one cut from heavy weight cardstock. That makes it thick enough to provide dimension without foam tape.
Distress Ink gathered twigs was used to stamp the sentiment from PTI Counting My Blessings. The burlap was a last minute idea & gives even more texture to a basically flat card I can mail without extra postage. I'm also entering the challenge at Words 2 Scrap By. Thanks so much for your visit.
