Thanksgiving Gratitude

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Wednesday!  I have a quick share for you today featuring an Autumn theme.  In the States, tomorrow is our Thanksgiving Day holiday and we will be spending it with family and friends.  It's been a tough year for us as a family and I've had fleeting thoughts of foregoing Thanksgiving and Christmas, but that would not be honoring our son Dylan, as the holiday season was his absolute favorite time of year.  

We are spending the holiday with my brother and my sister-in-law's family, and I needed to make a thank you card to go along with the hostess gift.  I thought these tattered and distressed leaf die cuts were perfect for the card.


I've went with a square card measuring 6", I've cut the leaves from various colors of cardstock and inked the edges with distress inks. The sentiment was die cut a few times for dimension and the background panel was embossed with the "Texture" EF from Penny Black.  The patterned paper strip is from my box of scrap.


To finish off the card, I've sprayed with Shimmer Spray for a glittery effect.  If you're celebrating Thanksgiving, please have a blessed day and I hope you are surrounded with family. friends and love.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

October 2023 Instagram Re-Discovery Hop - Fall/Autumn

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Sunday!  Today is the Instagram Just for Fun Re-Discovery Hop!  The idea behind this fun hop is to "Shop Your Stash" and created a project based on the monthly theme.  This month, there are a whopping 40 creators participating, so there is tons of inspiration for using your hidden treasures!  The Hop starts at 11 am EST and you can start hopping HERE.


The theme this month is Fall/Harvest.  When I think of Autumn, rich colors and Gratitude instantly come to mind.  Using an image and sentiment from the "With Love and Gratitude" digital set from Graciellie Designs, I've created an Autumn Card of Gratitude.

 


I've had this image in my stash for a year or more and always forget to color it for Autumn. so this Hop was a perfect time to use it.  I've colored using Prismacolor Pencils.


The patterned papers are snippets from various 6x6 paper pads and I've die cut the focal image and sentiment using dies from the stash.  I've added Wink of Stella, gold Posca Paint Pen splatters and golden thread for accents. 

We hop you'll visit and hop along all the stops.  You can start the hop HERE. and if you would like to join us next month, please reach out to our Leader and brains behind the Hop,  Tracy @craftwithme101 on Instagram!  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
