Thankful for You

Hello and welcome! I have a card to share that I made for the challenges at The Paper Players and Just Us Girls.

I love that these two challenges worked together so perfectly (thanks Claire and Nancy!)!  I had fun putting this card together, using one of my favorite Birdie Brown images.

To begin, I stamped the sweet girl, her little squirrel buddy and some leaves on white cardstock, colored with Copic markers, then used the coordinating dies to cut them out.  A white gel pen was used to add some stripes to her scarf.  

Next the sentiment was white heat embossed on cranberry paper, then die cut with a fishtail die that just happened to be the perfect size.  On a separate panel of Bristol paper, some yellow inks were blended to create the background, then cut out with a circle die and attached to the back of the stitched scallop circle die.  It was added to the white card base with thin foam tape, then the scene was created adhering everything to the circle except the squirrel, which I popped up on foam tape after adding the sentiment strip, also with foam tape for that nice bit of dimension.  I thought about adding some embellies but opted to keep things clean.

Thanks for taking time to visit, I really appreciate it and am truly thankful for you!  Take care and stay safe!
