Happy Thursday, everyone! And happy October! After a few false starts, I finally stamped a card yesterday that I was happy with! I really didn't have anything special in mind when I started it but then I realized I needed a sympathy card, so sympathy it was:
I've really enjoyed revisiting some of my older stamps; this one, Thoroughly Thankful, is from way back in 2006!!! I stamped the image in Stazon on watercolor paper, colored it in with reinkers and an aquapainter, then diecut it and mounted on a Basic Beige panel embossed with the Gathering Leaves embossing folder:
A sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes was added, and I colored a gold brad with a Cajun Craze blend to make it look more coppery! Here's the simple inside with a sentiment from Hero Arts:
I've got three challenges I want to enter this in: Hand Stamped Sentiments' mood board; Freshly Made Sketches' sketch, and the Little Red Wagon challenge of Fall Colors:
I took my inspiration from all the colors and fall images on the mood board! So pretty for the season!
And even though I don't have a mouse on my card, here's a chipmunk from Dana:
You can just barely see him peeking out of the rainspout! Thanks so much for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
