Thanks to the SUO Challenge team for choosing this as Top 3 Winner!!
I mentioned yesterday how much I have to be thankful for and I continued on my thank you card trend today. While I was at Regionals, my fabulous upline gave me some fun goodies to play with so I “had” to use them today. Brandi knows that I can’t resist a pretty ribbon and she gave me a whole pack of samples to use (expect to keep seeing them). One was the beautiful Victoria Crochet Trim. How did I not already have this?? Rest assured, it has been ordered now! She also included some Antique Brads which are particularly great with the Crochet Trim. Of course I used the Day of Gratitude set again. Here is the result:
The sketch comes from Stacey Schafer who is a guest designer at 2 Sketches 4 You this week. I used her bonus sketch. This card also meets the requirement for the Stampin’ Up Only Challenge #3 to use products from the Holiday Mini. Finally, it is another card for Shelli’s October Challenge .
The leaves are stamped using a technique taught last weekend by the very talented Ilina Crouse from My Creations. You ink up the image and then sponge another color on the edges using a sponge dauber. Love the look! I going to be playing with variations of color and this technique for a while.
Hope your week is going well. I’m going to be working on more fun stuff for my hostess clubs that meet next week so expect to see those soon.
Stamp: Day of Gratitude; Paper: Cajun Craze, Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla; Ink: Cajun Craze, Soft Suede, Versamark; Accessories: Victoria Crochet Trim, Antique Brads, Dimensionals

Great card. Love the bow! I struggle to use that ribbon but you nailed it! And you need to stop with this set-I’m losing my resistance!! 🙂
A beautiful card. Great idea to use the lace as trim!
