Give Thanks

Hi Bloggers.

Quick post today as I'm scheduling this having got back late from Portsmouth. No problems on the roads. Weather pretty good, windy but mostly dry. We had a lovely day and it was nice for my parents and Nathan to see where Kathryn is living.

Here's today's card -

Background is a piece of self adhesive sheet on a piece of card with new Verdigris Gilding Flakes rubbed into it. Then run through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Bark Embossing Folder. Lightly run the Adirondack Oregano Dye Ink Pad over design then add Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder and heat set. Any shrinkage around the edges hidden by Oregano Ink.

Cream Crochet Ribbon around the centre. Cream Crochet Ribbon flower. Leaves from Creative Expressions Autumn Leaves Stamp Set stamped with Perfect Medium and embossed with Gold Detail Embossing Powder. Cut out with scissors and veins coloured with Oregano using Cut n Dry Foam.

Sentiment is from same stamp set, stamped with Perfect Medium and embossed with Gold Detail Embossing Powder. Cut out using Justrite Vintage Labels Four and inked through the die with Butterscotch Adirondack. I used some more Justrite Vintage Labels Four dies for the mats.

Cosmic Shimmer Black Pearl Pearlescent PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
