Hello!! Today is Thanksgiving here in Canada, so to all of my Canadian friends and family out there - Happy Thanksgiving!! We're off later today for a big turkey dinner with family, but today we get to be lazy and just hang out! Love that! ;)
I have a card to share today that I thought was fitting for the holiday, since it's a great time to reflect on the people and things in your life that you're thankful for.
To create this card, I first diecut the tree trunk out of a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock and then cut out the words thank you as well, so I could create a diecut inlay effect. Once I had those parts cut out, I also cut out the leaves of the tree and stamped on the sentiment with Versafine Black Onyx ink.
I adhered the diecut piece to a scrap piece of typing paper that was completely covered in adhesive and then added all the pieces that I diecut from glitter paper back in. I coloured the tree trunk with Copic markers before adding it back in, to break up some of the glitter.
For the card base, I heat embossed the My Favorite Things Woodgrain background onto a piece of Simon Says Stamp Fog cardstock with Silver Pearl embossing powder from Ranger. I also added a piece of Slate cardstock as a mat, to make the focal piece stand out from the background.
I finished the card with Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Sequins and Silver Stickles - definitely my current addiction lol! ;)
