SU Stars November Blog Hop

This Month's blog hop is where we give  Gratitude/Thanks . I decided to do a Thanksgiving card. There are so many things that I am grateful for this year. Mostly my family, friends who have given me a lot of support.

If you came from Robin Messenheimers blog then you are in the right place. Wasn't her card just awesome. If not you can start at the beginning at  http://www.su-stars.blogspot.com/.


Here is my card:

Ink                                        Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede

Directions:

Cut a piece of Crumb Cake card stock 51/2 x 41/4 for the base, then cut a piece of Cajun Craze 51/4x 4, then cut a piece of Natural Ivory 5 x 37/8.

Then I placed the Natural Ivory in the  Argyle embossing folder and ran thru the Big Shot.

Next I sponged starting with light to dark. More Mustard, Cajun Craze and Chocolate Chip( to give a distress look)

Then I stamped the words down the left side using Chocolate Chip. Then I stamped the leaves random using Soft Suede.

Next I colored the leaves in using my markers with all the colors.

Then I stamped the water mark.

Assembled the pieces and tied Linen thread thru a Bronze button.

French Foliage in Triple TIme

I saw this card on The Stampin Schach awhile back and loved Ann's card so I cased it my way.

Ann used a little more texture than I did, but I love the way it came out.

Here is the inside of my card.

I am posting the edge to show you the Triple edges

It looks harder than it is. I am playing around with doing a tutorial, what do you think?

Now on to the supplies:

Card Stock                                 Cajun Craze, Early Expresso, Very Vanilla
Stampin Ink                                Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Always Artichoke, Early Expresso
                                                   and Crumb Cake
Ribbon                                       Always Artichoke seam binding
Marker                                       Cajun craze, Soft suede
Stamp Set                                  French Foliage
Accessories                               Spritzer Tool and Antique Brads

As you can tell there is not allot of supplies needed. You cut your sizes, stamp them and mat them, add Bling.  I will post a tutorial and will let you know when it is done. I am waiting on my order to do a Christmas one for Thanksgiving.
