Happy Thanksgiving....{MCT Designer's Challenge}

Good Morning everyone!

Today is an awesome day....for 2 reasons

~it is my BIRTHDAY :)

and it's time for another

~My Creative Time Designers Challenge Thursday!

For today's challenge we have 2 inspiration pictures for you. A gorgeous color combo/photo inspiration as well as a fun sketch!

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I used the picture inspiration with those beautiful fall colors and kinda incorporated the sketch (flipping it upside down)

to make this card......

To make this card, I started with a brown cardstock base and then die cut the middle size Stitched Rectangular Die so I could pop it up onto the front of the card base. Using my Versamark ink and the Grainy Wood Background stamp, I was able to add the beautiful texture look to the kraft cardstock.  Next I used some scrap designer paper and cut out a few of the leaves from the A Thankful Heart set. I also die cut 2 of the Stitched Leaves(using green cardstock to match the color combo in the pic) Placing those die cuts aside, I used some burlap from my stash to mimic the sketch (kinda...LOL) Next I layered the leaves onto the burlap, attaching them with my hot glue gun to ensure they stay put! I wrapped some hemp twine around the whole embellishment set and finished it off with a beautiful wood button.

Finally I stamped my sentiment, again using the A Thankful Heart Stamp and placed a few random enamel dots for some extra embellishing (plus I think I am addicted to using them...LOL)
