Always Thankful

November 1, 2011 By Connie | 12 Comments

This card is one that my Clubs did in September but haven't shown here.  It meets The Paper Players theme of FALL this week for Challenge #70 and I wanted to include it.  

 

I think Stampin' Up!'s Always Thankful stamp set is beautiful and very easy to color!  I used a past Create with Connie and Mary Challenge sketch for my starting point and took my colors from…what else?…Spice Cake Designer Paper!  I'm going to MISS that DSP when it goes away!

 

 

I started with a base of Pool Party and layered on Soft Suede cardstock.  I used three different patterns of Spice Cake DSP in varying widths under the front panel.  I stamped the urn of fall grasses with Black Stazon on Very Vanilla and used my Stampin' Write Markers and the AquaPainter to color the image.  I layered the Very Vanilla on Early Espresso cardstock.  I added a piece of Crochet Trim with the mini safety pin from Vintage Trinkets in the lower right corner.  Then I added three of the mini brads from Vintage Trinkets in the upper left corner.  Finally, I added the greeting Kind Thanks from Stampin' Up!'s Thank you Kindly stamp set in Black Stazon Ink.

 

Hard to believe it is November 1st already!  Wow!  Today is gorgeous…sunny and a high in the 60s!  Wish it would stay like this all winter!  lol!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    This is beautiful, Connie!  You colored the image so well.  It looks like it could pop off the paper!  I think this is my absolute favorite new stamps.

    This is fantastic Connie!  I love how you've done the little bit of crochet trim and balanced it with the vintage brads.  The sketch is still fabulous and your coloring of the image is perfect!  Thank you for joining us at The Paper Players!

    Hi Connie! This is so pretty! I love your shading on the imae and how you showcased that fabulous Spice Cake paper. (My new favorite!) The tiny button and that pop of lace trim are such great accents, too. All around fall-tastic! Thanks so much for joining us this week at the Paper Players! 🙂
