So Thankful

Hello!  LeeAnn here for LDRS Creative with a fun and timely card this month of Thanksgiving!

It’s the season to be thankful and I have plenty to be grateful for this year!  I just spent the weekend with my Dad in the hospital after having a mild heart attack and undergoing a heart cath and 3 stints.  So very thankful he recognized the symptoms and had the presence of mind to get checked out.  He’s now doing great!

The stamp sets from this new release are giving me ALL the Fall feels!  So many beautiful new products!

I used the So Thankful stamp and die set, the Doodle Borders stamp set and the Songbird Fields paper pack to make this slimline card.  Starting with a white card panel, I did some basic ink blending for the grass and sky.  The grass is LDRS Hybrid Ink in Prickly Pear Perfection and the sky is blended in LDRS Hybrid Ink in Swimming Hole.  Next I stamped the background using the Doodle Borders stamp set and stamped it in LDRS Hybrid Ink in Olive Branch.

The truck and all the images are stamped separately and colored and die cut.  I mounted all the images using foam squares for a little dimension.  The sentiment from the So Thankful stamp set is absolute perfection.  The details are gorgeous and stamp so crisply.  I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment to add a little texture.

The entire panel is centered on the orange plaid panel from the paper pack.  This paper pack is so so good.  Rich muted fall colors and the designs are gorgeous!  I can’t wait to create more with this beautiful pack.

If you haven’t had a chance to try these Hybrid Inks, you really need to!  They are a pleasure to work with and have found a home right on my desk top so they’re within reach at all times.  

Happy Fall everyone.  I hope you find time to give gratitude for something in your life today!

Crafty blessings,

LeeAnn
