Hello everyone! Greta here & I’m very excited to bring you my first card as a member of the a2z Scrapbooking Supplies DT. Those of us in the U.S. will soon be celebrating Thanksgiving. I wanted to show you that non-holiday stamps can be used with holiday colors to make a card.
I heat embossed the Leafy Vines & sponged on 3 Distress Inks. Then I dry embossed the panel & sponged it with gold ink before inking the edges brown. The sentiment is stamped on a scrap, trimmed into a banner, sponged with gold & edged with brown. I wanted the card front to be a bit softer, so I also sponged it with gold. Hero Arts gems provide the embellishment. Our challenge this month is Anything Goes, so grab your Hero Arts products & play along.

Stamps: Hero Arts Leafy Vines, PTI Autumn Adornments
Embossing Folder: Darice Fall Leaf Background
Ink: Delicata Golden Glitz, Distress Inks Gathered Twigs, Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold & Shabby Shutters
Gems: Hero Arts Orange Gemstones
Cardstock: Recollections
