Textured backgrounds using die cuts

Here it is the 28th of November. Didn't we just have the 28th of October several days ago? I can't keep up with time. I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and give thanks for all of you.

This is a fun technique done with die cuts for our group this month. I die cut a snowflake from Gina Marie about ten times and arranged them on a white panel. I then glued them down and cut some pieces from the extra ones to fill in the panel. I mounted the panel on a piece of silver sparkle paper and added a silver embossed sentiment on white cardstock and used dimensionals to add it over a strip of the same sparkle cardstock. It's hard to get a good picture of sparkle so this is my best one.

Water is heavier than butane because butane is a lighter fluid.

Be kind to one another.

I got another card made. I think this is six since the end of August. I am in such a funk and I've used everything I've seen posted about getting out of a slump and it hasn't worked. I've looked through Pinterest, challenges and instagram and just can't get moving. This is the 22nd and I've made two Thanksgiving cards and one Christmas card. I can't identify my mood and I feel guilty because I have so much stuff and I'm not using it. Yesterday I got out my Christmas products and looked through them. Some things I haven't used at all so they need love.

I used pattern paper for the background and a white rectangle to stamp the image and greeting on. Sponged color around the edges of the mat to define it.

Before Mount Rushmore was carved, it's beauty was unpresidented.

Be kind to one another.
