I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday weekend! We had family in from Atlanta. I cooked for 19 people on Thursday! Whew! Fun times, but I was exhausted! While I am not one to Black Friday shop, I did enjoy the luxury of some online deals and shopping while sitting in the comfort of my on home on Friday. It has been a very busy few days. Anyway, I decided to take a few moments to make a card for PTI monthly Blog Hop before I start decorating my Christmas tree!
Once I saw all the colors in this cover I knew I had to recreate the bold color layout and PTI harlequin cover plate die and matching harlequin stamps would give me the look I wanted for this cover.
I started with thing big favorites #5. I stamped the Thank You in new leaf ink. I then found a sentiment from Masculine Motifs set that worked perfectly stamped in red beneath title in keeping with cover layout. To keep the colors bold, I stamped on colored card stock. I used poppy, hawaiian shores, harvest gold, and new leaf. I varied stamping either in like colors on some card stocks or mixing it up and stamping hawaiian on new leaf, or poppy on harvest gold. Once the harlequin die template was removed it was the perfect amount of white space left. Love it!
I finished my card with a kraft base. It just seemed to make the front of the card pop even more.
As always thanks so much for hopping by!
