Hubby & Fritz will hold down the fort while I'm away visiting family & friends. I won't have my laptop, so I'll be on a blog break. You might see a picture or 2 on Instagram, though. I do want to share a couple cards before I get to packing.
The current theme at
ABNH is Inspired By Another Crafter. Of course there are lots of big name designers who inspire me, but I get just as much inspiration from my talented blogging friends. I've been lucky enough to meet a few of them in person, including
Betty who is on the Facebook DT for ABNH. We have a lot in common including our taste in cards.
I got the HA Autumn Icons die set after Betty pointed it out & recently she painted a die cut with HA Glimmer Inks which I've used very little. That inspired me to combine the 2 for this card. Betty often has a focal point in one corner & a sentiment. The pumpkin turned out too big for that, but I do have a single focal point & simple Impression Obsession sentiment. The background paper is a texured sheet from a very inexpensive pad
Rosemary & I found last time we got together. Hope Betty likes the card she inspired. I'm also entering

I really loved the card I made for the last SSS Flickr challenge
HERE. There was a little bit of the panel left on both sides of where the leaves were die cut & I thought it'd make a pretty pumpkin.
Now I'm hoping it looks like a pumpkin--or would you not have known without me telling you? Anyway, the pumpkin die is MFT Primitive Pumpkins & the panel it was cut from is SSS Kaleidoscope Background embossed in SSS Rose Gold powder & colored with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists. I scored an area near the bottom of the card front & covered it with Versamark Dazzle ink pad direct to paper.
The SSS sentiment is 2 high & heat embossed with the same Rose Gold powder. The splatters on the Classic Kraft are TA Glimmer Mists. Glad to have a Thanksgiving card ready to mail. I'm entering

Fun! Road trip! Enjoy visiting your friends and family! I was drawn to that first card in my blogger feed! Very pretty delicate pumpkin! And I Love how you made an embossing strip on your second card. The sentiment and pumpkin really pop!
