Thanksgiving Boughs

I took my cue from the Paper Players theme challenge.

I was also inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.

I began by deciding what to use for my small, medium and large squares that would work for a Thanksgiving card. Since it could be any shape, I chose a Beautiful Boughs Die, which I cut from burlap (Pressed Petals Designer Paper). I cut two boughs, leaving one whole for the largest square, and snipping a branch from the other for the top and middle squares.

The card base is Soft Suede Cardstock, topped with Whisper White Cardstock, which provided a nice contrast to the boughs. Before gluing the boughs, I stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede Ink. “I am thankful for you” is from the Painted Harvest Stamp Set.

This stamp set also provided the little dots that I stamped in our new Golden Glitz Delicata Ink.

For a finishing touch, I decorated the envelope flap with retired Designer Paper, which shows in my first photo.

A lovely CAS card Su – I love the textured DSP you used for the boughs and your card is a great example of how they can be used for a non-Christmas card too.
