Thankful for You
I'll be getting my Thanksgiving cards addressed this weekend, including this one. It was inspired by Stephanie's MFT video Thankful for You, which uses a stamp set I love but seldom use--MFT Peaceful Wildflowers.
I sponged an ivory panel with Distress Inks vintage photo, dried marigold, wild honey & scattered straw. Then I die cut the panel with the largest Stitched Oval Scallop Frames. The wildflowers & sentiment from MFT Thankful Leaves were all put in my Mini MISTI & stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia onto the center piece of the die cut. I spritzed it with gold Perfect Pearls mist--so beautiful in person.
The frame piece is layered 4 high & attached in place. Finished off with sequins in shades of brown & gold--thank you, Betty. I'm entering the MFT Spread Your Thankfulness challenge. I am truly blessed with a wonderfully supportive & faithful group of blog friends who connect with me on a personal level--not just about crafting. This card is going to one of them. I'm also entering Dies R Us, Double D, HLS Anything Goes with Dies, Retro Rubber (stamps over 2 yrs old), SSS Monday & SSS Wednesday. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Greta. Have been looking just not commenting. I was restricted to the iPad and for some reason the ipad and feedly were not connecting properly so I could look but not comment. Finally the problem is fixed and I am back.

Wow! This is beautiful! It's just exudes warmth with your lovely ink blending Greta ...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, I love the earth tones. Thanks for all your visits to my blog, much appreciated. I made an error, I used clear goosebumps but when used on white paper, of course it will look white :) They are fun to use, I tend to forget that I have a bottle of the 'stuff'. Take good care, Shirleyxx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! I love those soft sepia colors and that oval scalloped frame. I also love that stamp set. The sparkle and shine is lovely.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely card, gorgeous warm tones perfect for the season and the Retro Rubber Challenge, the oval scalloped frame really accentuates the beautiful image and lovely sentiment.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with us at RETRO RUBBER, hope to see you back in the gallery again soon.
Hugs,
Maria Rodriguez.

ReplyDeleteThis has such a beautiful soft, yet rich, glow to the color to support this serene floral image. It's lovely done as an oval with the scallop frame, and perfect for a Thanksgiving card. TFS & have a great upcoming week

ReplyDeleteIt is superbly constructed and that effect is simply magical.

Bravo!
