The Country Floral Oval from Becky's Place makes a terrific card to give Thanks!

The challenge theme this week at

Love To Create

is

"Thanks and/or Thanksgiving"

I've used this beautiful image from

Beccy's Place,

called

Country Floral Oval,

for my DT inspiration card for you this week,

which you can purchase here.

I started my card with a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 white (Colorbok) card stock base and layered it with a 5 x 4 piece of designer paper (Colorbok 4.5 x 7.25 Photo Mats - Brights).

I cut another piece of the white card stock to 4 3/4 x 3 3/4

and "embossed/scored" a diagonal patter with my Scor-Pal at 1/2" increments and attached it to the pink designer paper with an ATG.

I added Flamingo Liquid Pearls to the scored intersecting lines, allowed to dry and added some scrap ribbon. This was then attached to the card base using my ATG.

The image was completed using water color pencils and stamping the Thank You For Being My Friend sentiment (Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps - Autumn Friendship 2012 mini set) with Memento Rose Bud Ink.

I cut another oval piece of the designer paper to mount the image on.

Once this image and backing was attached to the card (ATG) I used the same Flamingo Liquid Pearls to accent the flower petals and centers.

A bow was added from the same ribbon, a piece of the designer paper added to the inside (this was scrap, and wasn't measured, just attached with the ATG).

It's just a sweet card!

I hope you have gotten a little inspiration from my card and think about joining in on the challenge this week.

Blessings,

Trudy

I hope your Tuesday is terrific!

Sadly it is my last time posting as a

Guest Designer at MFP/Sketch With A Twist

since I have now completed my month's challenges.

My blog post today,

Challenge # 52

the twist is to "Use A Number on Your Card"

The image and the sentiments are from the

Autumn Friendships 2012 mini stamp set.

This is a really cool set with lots of sentiments.

I've used the word

"Second"

in the sentiment "Nature's Second Spring"

Here is a little photo tutorial for the making of this card

Images were stamped and embossed, cut to size, and mounted with a beige piece of card stock and then another piece of the Kraft Paper

The edges were distressed with ink

I must have stamped the smaller image

10 different times

(brown ink, black ink, embossing ink)

until I was somewhat happy with it.

My first attempt was to surround the sentiment with 1/8" scor tape and add gold glitter.

Since the glitter didn't match the gold embossing, I scrapped that one too.

Ended up using one that was stamped in black ink and adding embossing ink with an embossing pen and using the same gold embossing powder that was on the rest of the card

My "designer paper" for the background was made from the beige cardstock and inked with the

Tim Holtz distress inks and paints.

A strip of gold ribbon (from stash) was attached with the ATG

Liquid Pearls were added randomly

Materials Used:

Colorbok Kraft and Beige Card Stock
Tim Holtz Distress Stain (polished brass and vintage photo), Distress Paint (Antiqued Bronze)
Inks: ColorBox Archival Blask, Stampabilities Brown Pigment Ink Pad, Tim Holtz
Liquid Pearls (Dark Chocolate)
Recollections Sparkle Embossing Powder in Clear Gold
