Sweater Weather Thanks



Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 191 was my inspiration for this card.  I knew right away that I wanted to use the leaf from Wonderfall so I started from there.  I cut the circle with the Circles Collection Framelits. I tested the Washi Tape directly to the Sweater Weather DSP but you could see through it, so I decided to mount the Washi tape onto a strip of Whisper White card stock first.  Even then, the beige Washi was too blah so I added some doodling.  Then while the Chocolate Chip marker was still out I decided to add doodling to the circle also.  Various colored Candy Dots completed the accessories.  I stamped sentiments from Lots of Thanks to the front and inside as well.  I hope you like my card!

Gratitude


I used {Freshly Made} Sketches #1 as the inspiration for this card.  I don't have the Deco Label Framelits yet so I had to cut this out by hand.  Hope you like my card!

Being Thankful


This card is based on a sketch by Connie and Mary called CCMC263.  I used this sketch as an opportunity to express my gratitude for the seasons, especially fall, which is my favorite time of year.
I hope you like my card.

Manly card


I think manly cards are difficult sometimes.  Usually if I keep to a monochromatic color scheme in browns it turns out looking more masculine.  I used a couple of new products from the Holiday catalog:  Season of Style DSP Stack and Magnificent Maple stamp.  The sentiment is from Four You and I used Baked Brown Sugar as my card base with accents of Early Espresso Candy Dots.  I hope you like my card!

Dahlia Thank You


This card is based upon SCS Sketch SC316.  I combined Pool Party and Old Olive for this two-toned look.  The dahlia was inked in Island Indigo ink but colored in with Pool Party and a blender pen.  I used the trick I learned at convention to tie the ribbon.  ( Retired two-tone ribbon that I loved!). I hope you like my card.

Warm Wishes


So I needed a Christmas card done in non-traditional colors and I had received the Winter Frost DSP, the silver 1/8" ribbon and the Remembering Christmas stamp set as my Prize Patrol gift at the SU convention, so I figured that was perfect for my card!  The new Smoky Slate is very silver in tone so it is perfect to go with this DSP. I accented the layers with Island Indigo for a little "pop". I hope you like my card!
