Thankful For You

 Good Morning!  

This card will be entered into the following Challenges:  

Poppystamps, Clean and Simple.  

Colorful Options, Be Bold.  

Paper Funday, Anything Goes, Optional Twist: Create Your Own Background.  

Simon Says Wednesday, Stamp It.

Inspiration Station, Photo Prompt.

I drew inspiration from the Fall colors and the rustic look of the old barn.

 I used the Poppystamps Products;

Ragged Daisy and Freida Leaf (inside) dies 

and Sentiment Banners stamp and die sets.

I created my wood grained background by scoring the paper every 1/2 inch.

Then I swiped Distress Oxide inks all over the panel.

Ink colors: Iced Spruce, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain and Weathered Wood.

 Flowers colored with Zig Water Color Markers.

Tuxedo Black ink.

White Paint Splatters.

Foam Strips.

 Inside.

 Some dimension and I looooove the aged look!

Thanks for coming by!

Enjoy~~
