Couldn't let the rest of my failed alcohol ink background go to waste, so I cut as much as I could using the SSS Clustered Leaves. Then I stamped them in gold with a very old Magenta splotches stamp. I finally used the old Cuttlebug Herringbone folder & die cut the panel with SSS Curved Edge. My friend, Nat, gave me the pretty lace & the bow is made from a beautiful variegated trim I bought at least a year ago. I gold embossed the sentiment from PTI Take Three Fall onto the kraft card front. This year I've made more Thanksgiving cards than ever--just need to get them mailed! I'm entering these challenges: SSS Flickr (Anything Goes), The Kraft Journal (Blessings) & Dies R Us (Fall).
I'm also sharing what I made to enter Jennifer McGuire's new challenge, Share Handmade Kindness. We love cranberry chocolate biscotti & so does hubby's daughter. I set aside some of this batch for her & I'd share with you guys, too! Thanks so much for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful project! Thanks for sharing with us at Dies R Us for our 'Fall' challenge!
ReplyDeleteLove the die cut leaves!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of your 'failed' background for the die cut leaves. I find that with my failed ones...when you cut something out from them they become 'useable' again x Your colours and layout are just gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! I love the leaves and that the trim bought so long ago just matches everything. It's great when all that comes together.
ReplyDeleteLove your card Greta! That branch is perfect that way!
ReplyDeleteI can smell your yummy Biscotti all the way from Chicago ;o)
