HYCCT1524 With Gratitude

Hi Again Friends!!

This card was created for the Splitcoaststampers’ “Hope You Can Cling To”  HYCCT1524Holly’s “Thanks Bunches” Challenge to create a “Thank You” card with a “bunch” of fruit, leaves, etc. 

Fall is in full color here in the Mid-Atlantic region and after our trip to Shenandoah (Skyline Drive) this past Thursday, I was inspired to create fall leaves for my "bunches" :-)

I am also linking this card to the Happy Little Stampers October 2015 Sketch Challenge and the #tgif26 "So Thankful" Challenge.

Again, if you have not had a chance to do so, I hope you will find the time to visit the above galleries- wonderful inspiration from all!!

To create this card:

Stamp the leaves using Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink onto Whisper White cardstock, color using Sponge Daubers with Hello Honey, Cajun Craze, Tangerine Tango and Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink.

Fussy-cut the leaves and scrunch by hand to create a realistic texture.

Ink the large solid splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge using Hello Honey and stamp onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, clean the stamp and stamp as well with Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink.

Add the large splatter stamp using Cajun Craze Classic Ink as well as Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink.

Cut the panel out using the Big Shot™ with the My Favorite Things™ Blueprints 13 Die and mount onto a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock, trim and adhere to Very Vanilla card base.

Stamp the sentiment using Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock, punch the banner using the Hexagon Punch and stamp a bit of splatter with Cajun Craze Classic Ink.

Arrange and mount the leaves using dimensional foam along with the sentiment (loosely interpreting the sketch) and add the clip to finish off the card.
