Give Thanks

 Hi again,

I have one more quick post for this morning. I made this card last night using Jen's sketch for the "just about to end" Freshly Made Sketches challenge, and the theme challenge from the new Paper Players Challenge. Claire is this week's hostess with a Thankful theme. 

I started by ink blending a square card panel with four ink colors then spraying some water over the panel to get the water reactive effect. Using the GKD stamp set called Painted Autumn, I stamped the layering flowers and leaves in fall colors then cut them out using the set dies. The sentiment is part of the stamp set. After stamping it in black ink, I cut it out using a double stitched circle die and cut a single stitched circle for the layering. After cutting the ink blended panel per Jen's sketch I glued it to a black mat and put them onto a white card base. The images are glued with liquid glue and some are popped up with dimensionals. All in all, pretty simple.

I made a second card, even easier, using GKD patterned paper and pre-printed images. The sentiment is also from the Painted Autumn stamp set. This time I layered the circle onto a scalloped circle die from Spellbinders.The size of this card is much smaller, 4.2 5 x 4.25 inches.

Enjoy your afternoon, and thanks again.
