Thankful

Happy Friday!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: Thankful or Grateful

Here is my card for your inspiration:

I bought this beautiful die set on Amazon a couple of years ago.  The leaves are just fabulous and I love the font on the sentiment.  It was the perfect choice to create a CAS "thankful" card.  I started by inking up a dotted background stamp with a pale blue ink and a blender brush to get a nice soft stamping.  Then I die cut the two leaves and inked the edges of the orange leaf with some red ink.  I die cut the sentiment once with the gold and two more times with white cardstock and layered them all together for some dimension.  I finished everything off with some really, really old orange and yellow gems.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.
