I just can't get enough of the French Foliage stamp set. Soon the snow will arrive, so I'll set it aside for a little while. In the meanwhile ….
This is one of my favorite Thanksgiving cards I designed this year. It uses the French Foliage (#120845), Day of Gratitude (#120835), and Woodgrain background (#117100) stamp sets. I stamped leaves in the usual fall colors on a Naturals Ivory base. Added the Woodgrain in Chocolate Chip. Randomly sponged here and there, to fill in the background. This was mounted on Cajun Craze, More Mustard, and Early Espresso card stock. I tied a knot in the center of the Black 1-1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon (#115615) and taped it around the top two layers. The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla card stock and punched with the Extra Large Oval Punch (#119859). I sponged the edges and attached to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430).
I've been thinking about color. I used so many colors on this card – both card stock and ink. I know many of you are looking to update the colors in your craft rooms. So, I decided to help you out!
