Happy Monday my friends! We have a new challenge for you this week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Thanks/Thanksgiving. I took advantage of this week's theme to make some place cards for the dinner table at Thanksgiving.
I started with a layer of Rusty Hinge. I swiped the pad onto the craft sheet and spritzed it, then lay the card into it.
Repeat with Wild Honey...
...and Ground Espresso.
I also stamped the inside of each card with this lovely saying from Simon's Thanks & Leaves set (November card kit) with Coffee ink.
I added more to the background with Simon's Ornate Leaves set too.
I decided I wanted a bit of texture and dabbed on some Rock Crystal crackle with my finger.
I chose these images from Photo Play's Fall Breeze paper pad and fussy cut them, popped them out after I added a strip of paper to my background.
I hope you are inspired to create something for Thanksgiving or Thanks and will share it with us on the challenge blog!
I am thankful for all of you who stop by to visit!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Maura

Oh my, your Thanksgiving place cards are amazing! I love the background that you created with the pretty leaves and the images that you fussy cut are so adorable 😁. The sentiment inside each of the cards is wonderful too, I'm sure your guests will love them! Wishing you a happy new week! J 😊 x
ReplyDeletePlace cards! What a brilliant idea and I love how you combined elements from different brands and that have different looks here. It is an explosion of classy happiness. I need to remember to volunteer to make place cards next year instead of having to cook something. It would be a win-win for all involved.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely, Maura! The backgrounds are FABULOUS!! :D
