Hello all and welcome!
This month, in the Seashore Stampers Blog Hop, we are celebrating all things Thanksgiving and Halloween. I chose to focus on Thanksgiving. In addition to all the delicious food, it's a time where family and friends gather...often to give thanks, funnily enough.
I have so very much to be thankful for this year. My honey has finished his cancer treatment. My recovery from surgery has been amazing. And the icing on the cake, our daughter is coming home from Montreal. I am filled with gratitude for all the support we received this year. You guys rock!
We've slowly been getting the thank you cards out - there are a LOT. I created this one for my brother and sister-in-law who did SO much for us during those really challenging months. Since they will be hosting our family's Thanksgiving celebration, I'll give it to them then.
The base is Early Espresso (4 1/4" x 11", scored at the 5 1/2" mark), the next layers is Pretty Peacock (3 3/4" x 5") and the lovely paper comes from the Come to Gather Designer Series Paper package (3 1/2" x 4 3/4".) This part of assembly is straight forward and the 3 layers can be attached using your Snail.
Ride with Me has the adorable truck and pumpkin. They were stamped in Memento Ink and coloured with Blends. I used the Crumb Cake Set, the Light Smoky Slate, the Black Set and the Pumpkin Pie Set. Wink of Stella was used on all the "metal" parts of the trunk and the window. The wheels received some added dimension and sheen from Fine-Tip Glue Pen. The truck and pumpkins were fussy cut and attached with Dimensionals. Alternative: If fussy cutting isn't your thing, this card would still work with the truck stamped on a small rectangle or oval of whisper white.
"Thanks" comes from the Well Written dies. I did it in Pumpkin Pie and Pretty Peacock to add dimension and visual interest. They were attached to each other with a small amount of Multipurpose Glue and then slightly offset. The "thanks" was attached with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
