November Waltzingmouse Blog Dance

The theme for this month's Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Party is gratitude.  I made this simple card Thanksgiving card for the party based on this week's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.

I used the Teeny Trees set for my focal image panel.  One of the set's tree trunk images is stamped across the panel, varying the height for interest.  I added the tree tops in different fall colors. Two of the tree tops are adhered with foam tape for some dimension.

The stamped panel is layered on a kraft card base.  A strip of corduroy ribbon runs along the bottom of the stamped panel. I love the texture of corduroy for fall cards!  I wrapped the corduroy with some cream twine and secured the twine with a small bow.

Materials Used:
Teeny Trees stamp set (Waltzingmouse Stamps); Memento Morocco, Cantaloupe, Desert Sand, and Rich Cocoa inks (Tsukineko); Very Vanilla cardstock (Stampin' Up!); Kraft cardstock, cream twine  (Papertrey Ink); brown corduroy ribbon (Hobby Lobby); corner rounder; foam tape
