Thankful Leaves

Hi and welcome!  I'm thrilled to be back as GD with the Time Out Challenge team for our mid-challenge reminder post.

And we are inspired with words for this challenge.

'Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart'

For my card, I used some more NBUS (the Calli Letters sets).  Although in 90% of cases, my NBUS becomes OBUS (Once Before Used Schtuff), these letter sets were so easy to use and I love the font, so I'm sure to use them again.

I masked off a panel across my card and sponged on Distress Inks.  After removing the masks, I stamped an image from the Penny Black Lush and Lavish set - overstamping several times to get a good, rich impression.  Then I stamped the letters and by the way, I only practiced once on a scrap of paper - these really are easy if you look straight down on them as you're stamping.

I finished off the panel with some rainstones and a die-cut frame before popping it up on a white card base with some foam tape.

Thanks for visiting and thanks also to the Time Out team who have made me feel so welcome.  Be sure to check out their cards.
