October Ds Stamping Team USA Giving Thanks

This is my very first blog hop.  Thank you, Darla Roberts, for inviting me to participate!

What better subject could there be than Giving Thanks?  I have so much to be grateful for, that I couldn’t even begin to count my blessings!

Fall is my very favorite time of year, and I love to watch the leaves turn from green to a rainbow of glorious color!  I hope you enjoy my card.

I started with a base of Chocolate Chip.  The next layer is Very Vanilla.  If you’re wondering which embossing folder I used….surprise!  I took the Stampin’ Score and scored every other line with the cardstock horizontal, then turned it, and (on the same side) scored every other line with the cardstock vertical.  I used the Vintage Leaves stamp set, stamping the leaves in Chocolate Chip, sponging with a combination of Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive inks, then cutting out with the matching framelits.  The greeting is from Lighthearted Leaves, a set that goes with the same framelits!  It’s stamped on a 2″ circle, pierced, then matted onto a Chocolate Chip 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle.  A double linen thread bow was glued to the stems of the leaves, and a few rhinestones were sprinkled on using the Multipurpose Glue.  The leaves and the scallop circle are popped up with dimensionals.  I hope you like it!

All of the supplies used to create this card may be purchased in my Online Store.  If you don’t already have a demonstrator, I’d love to be yours!

Until next time……stay inky, my friends!
