I found a great sketch over at Splitcoase today, SC302. I liked it so much that I actually made two cards with it! The first also uses the Color Throwdown 114 colors for this week, Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron and Chocolate Chip. I actually substituted Early Espresso for the Chocolate because I am low on Chocolate paper (the horror!!). I used the Play Date DSP as my starting point and added some dimension to the Poppy panel with my Big Shot and the Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plates. The ribbon is from my little stash my upline gave me at Regionals. I need a birthday card for one of my nephews and I think this will do the job nicely.
The first card came together so quickly that I had time for a second before heading out to the local “Cows and Corn” for a school field trip. I had been playing around with the medallion from Day of Gratitude and the technique taught by Ilina Crouse at Regionals…Rock and Roll with a Twist and a Huff. Mine started with More Mustard and I sponged on Cajun Craze using a sponge dauber. I used the Square Lattice Embossing Folder this time and some of my cool buttons. You all must know by now that I am a ribbon hoarder and this came off a package I received (Williams-Sonoma, I think). Great match for Cajun Craze! This is also for the Stampin’ Sisters in Christ challenge 60 to create a thank you card. The scripture this week is:
1 Timothy 4:4 “For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving…”
I still need some thank you cards so I’m glad to have another one completed. The weather here is beautiful and field trip was fantastic. There’s nothing like fall in Virginia!! Hope your day is great too. See you soon.
