Welcome to November. Today I got back into the Autumn season and took the wreath die that was meant for Halloween and used it as a card of thanks. This would also be a wonderful way to make a Thanksgiving card too. I hope you like my simple design.
My card base is of Gina K. Designs Ivory and I die cut the wreath out of Gina K. Designs Dark Chocolate card stock. My leaves were die cut from a sheet of Ivory that I added various shades of ink to make my leaves look more the colors of Autumn.
I glued the wreath onto the base card with a 2-way glue pen and then did the same with all the leaves that I had die cut. Inside the wreath I stamped the sentiment. And on the bottom I added a chiffon brown ribbon with a double loop bow.
This panel was added to some Gina K. Design orange two-toned striped pattern paper before it was added to the main card. I also took a white gel pen and added a bit of coloring to the bird to make him look a bit more realistic.
Cheery Lynn Dies used:
Happy Halloween Twiggy Wreath B469
Flourish Leaf Strip B178
Stamp set used:
Joy Clair CLR-01009 Hello Autumn
My bow was made using the Craft-Dee BowZ bow maker. The sentiment was added with Gina K. Design Warm Cocoa dye ink.
I am entering this in the following challenges:
Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge #241-Thank You Theme
Dies R Us Challenge-Thankful for Nature (Thank You or Nature Based)
I hope you had a great Halloween experience. Ours was quiet with no trick or treaters at all. But we watched some cool things on TV and still got the spooky experience. Thanks for stopping by and for the wonderful comments too.
God bless,
Verna
