A Time of Thanks

Hi friends! 

As we near the Thanksgiving holiday for our fellow American friends, I want to share a warm Thank You card with you. This card is to thank YOU for your support, love, and kindness! I hope that you have an amazing holiday! For my card today, I'll be using Heat Wave Sun A2 stencil, Paper Glaze Luxe in Aztec Sunflowers, Liquid Splatters in Pecan Tart Brown, A2 Lots of Thanks die set, and die inks! Let's get started, shall we? 

First step was to decide on the color palette, so I went with shades of mustard yellows and coral. These are the perfect colors for this time of year and also for this specific card! I started by adding a light shade of yellow to an A2 sized white card panel using my ink blending tool. Then I adhered the Heat Wave Sun stencil over it and applied darker shades of yellow and coral through the stencil, creating an ombre effect! One of the inks I used is a glitz ink, so it added shine to the fun! Finally, I went back in and applied Paper Glaze Luxe in Aztec Sunflowers over just the ends of the sun rays. I love that imperfect, mixed media look! 

Can you see all that color and shimmer in the photo above? Love it! When the paper glaze was fully dried, I trimmed the card panel using my deckled edge trimmer, inked the edges in a dark brown ink, and applied Liquid Splatter in Pecan Tart Brown over the entire panel. Then I adhered it to a black A2 sized card base. 

For the sentiment, I used the Thanks die from A2 Lots of Thanks. This die is a 3-for-1 where you die cut 3 different styles of Thank you with one die! I used the large, bold Thanks die so it would stand out from the background. I die cut it in a colored card panel that I had on hand from a previous play date with myself :). The colors of this card panel really complimented my background! I adhered it right over the background and that was it for this card! You've got shine, color, and texture going on and it doesn't get much better than this!
