Glitter Leaves for the American Thanksgiving
I made this a while ago but now I wish I'd have used a "thankful" sentiment since it would have made a great card for my American friends as they celebrate thanksgiving!!
The strip along the bottom is actually a piece of Sookwang two-sided tape. I used my hobby knife to slice off a bit from the top and bottom and covered that with some cinnamon colored glitter. Then I peeled off the larger middle section ... but carefully put on some punched out leaf shapes so that when I added the dark brown glitter, it went around the leaves. Finally, I added the copper glitter to the leaves after pulling off the leaf masks. I really liked the results!! I added this band to a card base of Creamy Caramel that was stamped with Versamark ink. I finished it off with a sentiment in Chocolate Chip ink.
So I hope all my American friends have a great Thanksgiving with lots of yummy food and great company!!
Supplies: Stampsp-Simple Little Things (Papertrey Ink); Ink-Chocolate Chip (Stampin' Up!), Versamark; Paper-Creamy Caramel (Stampin' Up!); Other- 2 sided tape (Sookwang), fine glitter (Jewel Glitter Ritz), hobby knife.
Thanks for dropping in! Leave me a comment and let me know how you are celebrating your thanksgiving!!
