This card was inspired by one I saw on Instragram by @achelgreig back in August. I just loved the idea so much, I wanted to try to re-create it. Although I did not watch her make this, her post mentioned a stencil from Backroom Door, so I assume she used that for either the lines or the squares. I simply drew the lines and selected some water colors to make the squares. Then I found some silhouette stamps in my stash which represented fall. I think the sentiment is from a SSS set, but not positive. I mass made these for fall cards for friends and for Thanksgiving. I am entering this in the SSS Monday Challenge.
Welcome to my blog. Ten years ago I discovered that making cards was super fun. I keep learning as I watched many expert crafters and artists on the internet. Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Thanksgiving
I made this card by rolling amber distress ink over an embossing folder from Darice and was thrilled with the results. I die cut it with a rectangular, scalloped-edge die and adhered it to a brown card panel. I added the die cut sentiment with some vellum behind it so it could be more easily read using the same dark brown card stock. Entering this in the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.
Thinking of You
This large die from Concord & 9th was in my stash for a long time before I finally got around to using it. I selected some Distress ink sprays and completely covered a sheet of water color paper; then I cut out the Thinking of You and glued it to a black card base. I loved how this turned out and it was a fast card to complete! Entering this in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
Hello
Thinking of You Challenge. Trying my hand at water color, I used a background stamp from SSS (Floral Mix) for these two cards. Both were embossed first, one with black and one with white, prior to water coloring. Entering these in the Wed Challenge at SSS.
Sending Warmest Thoughts
Here's a Thinking of You card, one of the kind I like to keep in my stash for lots of purposes. I made it with a stamp and die set from Gina K Design and a frame from Altenew. The sentiment is from Impression Obsession. Entering this is the "Simon Says Stamp Wed Challenge.
