Give Thanks

Today I'm sharing a Thanksgiving card that I created to enter into some challenges. I like doing challenges because they force help me create projects I might not normally do. That is not the case with today's card.

This card is made with hoarded  saved paper from my all time favorite company, and from one of my favorite of their collections, which is now retired. If you know me at all, you know it's Graphic 45 and the collection is A Place in Time.

I mentioned hoarding because once again, I created this card to enter into the Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge. My last entry shown here was selected as a Favorite by Gloria Stengel; the mastermind behind this challenge and biggest hoarder ever (tee hee), and her Design Team. I cannot thank them all enough for choosing my project. What an honor! Thank you! Thank you! I'm so happy you liked my project.

This is Challenge #18 - Layer It and I have a ton of layers on my card. The kraft card base was paper distressed and then ink distressed it with Vintage Photo. Next I added pieces from the A Place in Time November Cut-Apart page. (I only have one piece left - yikes!) The green check patterned paper was topped with a layer of frayed burlap, then I popped up the signature monthly post card over the burlap. 

Next came a die cut from the Tim Holtz Mini Tattered Leaves die by Sizzix. I clustered a postoid and a greeting cut from the page with the tattered leaf. All pieces were ink distressed with Vintage Photo. 

To add even more layers, I made a scrunched multi-loop bow from green seam binding. I used May Arts twine to form a flower over my bow, and topped that with a button. 

I am also entering this card into the following challenges:

     Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Get Crafty and Use Kraft

     Simon Says Monday Challenge - Anything Goes

Have a wonderful weekend doing whatever it is that you love.
