So I am happy that 365 Cards Day 271 Challenge is to make a Thanksgiving inspired card. I will give this card to my wonderful husband. I am so thankful that he not only provides for us, is a great father, and a wonderful husband, but that he's my friend. And he supports my crazy craft habit! And only teases me a little bit!
I made the card from DCWV white-core cardstock, so that I could emboss and sand it. I embossed with the Cuttlebug pumpkin folder. The strip of printed paper is Melissa Francis. The greeting is Inkadinkado, stamped with a Kaleidacolor stamp pad.
Since I like to be an overachiever sometimes, this card is also for the following challenges:
Crazy for Challenges (C4C12): Sketch
Stampin' Sisters in Christ - Thanksgiving
ETA: This card also matches the Color Challenge for Our Creative Corner.
After I photographed this, I thought I may like to add a few buttons...but then decided that I'd keep it a bit simple. I did grunge it up, since dh likes to laugh at me for "crapping up perfectly good cards."Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have an amazing weekend, and enjoy your Black Friday shopping. I REFUSE to leave my house on Black Friday...so I will be playing in my studio and not spending any money...unless it's online shopping....shhhhhh!
Okay, I adore your card gloria...it's absolutely gorgeous...funny thing...as I'm reading your post and admiring all the shabbiness of it I thought I remembered that your hubby is the dude that perhaps doesn't understand how coolio that makes a card and then I read this:

ReplyDeleteA perfectly good card, all grunged up to make it more perfect despite what your dh might say -- I am sure he was delighted to receive a card you have put some much time and thought into (and the sentiment for sure will win him).
