Abundant Blessings + The Shabby Tea Room Sponsorship

Hello, friends!  It's a special Monday--I've got my weekly card using fabulous stamps from the Great Impressions store, and it's one for our current sponsorship!  We're sponsoring The Shabby Tea Room, and the inspiration is just beautiful!  The theme is "Thankful" and there is an awesome photo for your to be inspired by, too!  Check it out...

Isn't that just fabulously FALL?!  I love the neutral colors, the pine cones, the texture...all of it!  Take a peek at what I was inspired to create...

I stamped G22 Pine Cone Bough on the top and bottom of a piece of kraft cardstock to create a frame for my sentiment.  I then colored in the berries with gold Wink of Stella pen and then colored over that with a Sakura glitter gel pen.  The shine is SO pretty!

Going along with the photo and the "Thankful" theme, I added C384 Abundant Blessings to the card.  I stamped it onto some textured cream cardstock, then added some brown, felt, stitched ribbon to the side.  

I really love these neutral tones and fun textures together!  I hope you like my card, too.  Please leave me a comment below to let me know your thoughts!

That's all for me today, friends.  THANK YOU so much for stopping by to take a peek at my card!  I also would love for you to come and join our monthly challenge!  If you use a stamp from the Great Impressions online store, please link it up in our Customer Gallery, too!  Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)

Welcome back again! I'll keep my post short and sweet today.

I used Abundant Blessings C384 for the sentiment, masking off the bottom half so that I could use this card before Thanksgiving. Image is Harvest Truck G471. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope your weekend is full of abundant blessings!

Thanksgiving

It's just one week until Thanksgiving in the US and I think that we sometimes skip over this important holiday to get to Christmas.  But we NEED to give thanks, and so I've got a card today that pays homage to this much needed holiday.

Here's the card~

Details~

Products used: C31 Pine Cone Sprig, C384 Abundant Blessings.

I'll be back again next week with another video tutorial utilizing the FROSTED IMAGE technique.  I'll be making another holiday tag, so you'll want to grab the supplies and get a head start on making one, too!

Here are the supplies you need to gather:

• H171 Snowflake Wreath
• D397 Winter Wonderland
• Neutral cardstock (the slower ink dries on it, the better)

Thanks so much for stopping by to check out my weekly creation!  I hope that you take some time to create a card that expresses thanks and that you make sure to give Thanksgiving a good part of your heart and life. HUGS and thankful stamping, friends!
