Christmas and Thanksgiving

The Pinkfresh Studio October Challenge is about to close.  My card was inspired by Michelle Lupton's card for Case me a Christmas Card 2025-Hop 1. 

I love the look of stamping off the edge and raising the negative die cut panel over the image.  I was also inspired by her use of black in the sentiment. 

PFS Delicate Wreath remains one of my favorites.  I stamped in Altenew Hunter Green and then again with pigment ink so I could randomly sprinkle WOW Spring Breeze embossing powder.  It adds just the right bit of sparkle which you can see in my IG post.  The red die cut berries were leftovers and love what they add to the card.  PFS Classic Holiday words were die cut from vellum and black glossy cardstock.  I'm also entering SSS Wednesday and WAW.  

I entered Amy's Woodblock Wednesday through IG, but wanted to also share my Thanksgiving card here.  

So glad I discovered the old terra cotta card pack I've had for years.  Really love the look of it dry embossed with my old leaves folder.  Isn't the Art Impressions Wheat Shaft image beautiful?  I got it many years ago for 75 cents at the stampers garage sale my LSS had twice a year.  I embossed it with SSS Antique Gold powder--so beautiful in person.  Love the Impression Obsession sentiment which I stamped in Versafine Clair Acorn.  I used the same ink on the edges of the 2 mats.  

Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.  If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
