Eat, Drink and Give Thanks!

Thursday is here so I have a card to share for this week's sketch challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.

These colors are just perfect for Thanksgiving and fall.  I just got Holiday Invitation and I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

It's been forever since I've made a card with the Scallop Tag Topper closure and I knew this set would work perfectly with this style.

Blackberry Bliss is such a rich, deep color so I used it for the card base.  I punched the scallop edges and scored the card to give me a good size front panel to stamp on.  A layer of Hello Honey went on the panel first, then a layer of Whisper White.

The sentiment went on the paper first in Blackberry Bliss.  "Give Thanks" got stamped one word at a time to stack them.  Having this set in photopolymer makes both inking and stamping them individually a breeze!  Once the sentiment was in place, I stamped and die cut two pumpkins from Fall Fest and placed them in the center....perfect fit!

With style of card, the inside needs to be embellished since part of it shows.  So, leaves were stamped in two corners with Hello Honey and  Tangelo Twist.  The sentiment went off center so it's completely covered by the front panel.  I initially tried using the other October Paper Pumpkin sentiment, but it was too large and it looked funny with part of it showing on the right side of the card.

The last little detail was a bit of twine from the Under the Tree Tag a Bag Kit ( LOVE this kit...so handy!) to tie the scallop closures together.

I am really pleased with how well this card turned out with these bold fall colors together.  Now, it's your turn!! I hope you will join me and make a card to share with us.  Just go to Create with Connie and Mary for all the details plus more great samples from the Design Team.

Thanks for visiting!  Happy Stamping!
