Inspired Happy Thanksgiving

This card today was created for the Inspiration Challenge (IS154) on SCS. We were to use a scarf from The Felted Garden as our inspiration. And I choose this one

For this card I used the aqua, brown, and creamy colors for a truly "Inspired Thanksgiving". Using the newly released Autumn Flourishes I put a nontraditional Thanksgiving look on this card. autumn-flourishes-happy-thanksgivinga

My card base is Cappuccino Metallic paper with layers of Chocolate Chip and Aqua. I used a Cuttlebug folder-Dotted Swiss for the Aqua paper, then scored in 1/4" from the top , bottom, and right side with my Scor-Pal. On a separate piece of aqua I stamped the Autumn Flourishes large image with Brilliance Pearle scent Beige. In real life the beige is wonderfully pearl scent, calling to mind the soft glimmer of Pearl Ex, but without the work. Next, for my focal image I stamped the sentiment in Chocolate Chip and tips of the Autumn Flourishes large image on the top and bottom. Then using my new Nestabilities Labels One I cut it and embossed in and then repeated the process with the one size larger die and cut it from Chocolate Chip. The SU two slot punch was used and then I did a faux bow with May Arts Reversible ribbon in Gold and Brown. The same ribbon was used to join the two pieces of Aqua card stock. I assembled all the layers and then added the finished focal image to the card face with large pop dots and Viola! I was finished with my Inspired Thanksgiving card.

All of the cards on this page, including the one you just made, are absolutely gorgeous. They have a rich and lavish appeal, refined and elegant. I never thought I would use those words in association with hand stamped cards!
