Life In Abundance - Be Grateful - Always
Happy Saturday to my friends.
Today's card is a direct result of finding a great challenge website.
It is called Hand Stamped Sentiments. Instead of a sketch, they have weekly inspiration challenges. Here is the one for this week:
This really reminded my of the abundance that is ours and how we need to be grateful every day for what we have been given.
We are on a "use what we have" streak at our house, so this fits right in.
I used two dies on this card. The first is from the MFT First Class Friend Stamp and Die Set. I cut the frame out three times. Twice on chipboard and once on patterned paper. Then I stacked and glued to make the dimensional frame. The sentiment is also from MFT Stamps.
The other die I used is the banner from Spellbinders. There are two banners in the set and I use them all the time. It is one of the first sets I bought from them and I'm glad I did.
I just added some bling, a flower and a sparkly leaf to finish up the card. I hope it says what is in my heart...for truly I am thankful for all that has been given to me.
See you tomorrow with the final October sketch from Cardabilities. It's a good one!
