Day of Gratitude

Hi All,

    I hope you are having a very good day!  The weekend is almost here, just hang on a little longer...This is my last card share for the week and I hope you enjoy it. It is a Thanksgiving card.

Here's how and what you need to make it with.

  

Stamp sets: Day of Gratitude. 

Paper:  More Mustard, Cajun Craze and Very Vanilla

Inks:  More Mustard and Cajun Craze Classic Ink pads

Accessories:  Clear Mounts, Dimensionals (5), 1 small half pearl and Crystal Effects, Paper Snips, Dotted Scallop Border Punch

Technique:  Rocking and Rolling

This is a new stamp set that is in the Holiday Mini Catalog that sells for $18.95 for Clear Mount.   For 7 stamps that runs you less than $3 a stamp.  The wood mount set is $26.95.  You'll use 4 of the stamps on this card.  I try to use as many as possible to get the most for my money

On the medallion part, ink up the stamp by patting it with the ink pad as if clapping your hands using the More Mustard first then rolling the Cajun Craze ink pad just on the edge of the stamp to get that ink color on the edge only.  PRACTICE HELPS!  Be sure to huff on the center part as the ink begins drying out very quickly right before stamping on the paper.  Next,  place the sentiment, the acorn and the leaf stamps on the (H) clear mount and stamp them all at once!  What a time saver!  Cut out the medallion with your paper snips.

Punch out 2 strips of "lace" with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch.   Glue the "lace" in place with Snail adhesive, then the layers the Cajun Craze and Very Vanilla stamped strips, and the medallion with the dimensionals using one in the center so that part of it will stay lifted up.  Adhere the small half pearl with a tiny dot of Crystal Effects.  That way it won't come off.  Don't you just love the Crystal Effects?

Ta daa!  And that is that!   I have to thank my friend, Diane McCornack for showing me how do the 'Rock and Roll' technique.  

Y'all come back soon, ya' hear!

Hugs, Gayle
