I just love this card using the
Clockworks and
Gorgeous Grunge stamp sets. It also features the same color combination that I used last week on the
Laundry Notes card -
Pink Pirouette, Soft Suede, Rich Razzleberry, Pool Party, Very Vanilla. I used lots and lots of layers (cardstock layers and stamped layers) on this one, with a lot of texture as well -
Big Shot Embossing,
Heat Embossing, just a touch of
Distressing here and there and
Sponging on everything. This
Color Combination is the
Tech Club Theme for
November Swaps.
One of my favorite things about this card is the
Champagene Mist Shimmer Spray that I used on some of the layers. I just love the light shimmer this gives and am so happy that these
Shimmer Paints are still available on the
Clearance Rack! Mix it with Rubbing Alcohol and use it as a spray to add just the right amount of shimmer and glimmer to your project without being overwhelming or too blingy. I also love those petite
Pool Party arrows are one of the accessory dies from the
Circle Card Thinlit. And I really love these buttons! I tied the
Very Vintage Designer Button on to the
Victoria Lace with a few wraps of
Pool Party Baker's Twine (retired.)
There are so many elements of texture on this card! I used the
Beautifully Baroque Texture Embossing Folder on the
Rich Razzleberry layer. Then I sponged lightly over the embossed elements with
Soft Suede ink and a
Sponge Dauber. This really makes those embossed areas pop. The edges of this layer are also distressed a little, not too heavy. The encyclopedia paper layer is stamped with a few of the
Clockworks images, sponged with
Soft Suede ink and then layered onto a distressed
Soft Suede cardstock mat. The collage stamping adds even more texture to this card. I stamped some of the
Gorgeous Grunge images in
Pink Pirouette and
Pool Party inks, spritzed with
Champage Mist Shimmer Paint Spray. Then I swiped the stamped cardstock with the
Embossing Buddy, stamped the sentiment in
Rich Razzleberry ink and covered it in
Clear Embossing Powder, heat set with the
Heat Gun.

I played with the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge 321 today, using a blackboard die cut banner from the Stampin' Up! Thankful Tablescape Kit. I just love the blackboard die cut pieces in this kit and they make great place cards and table cards, but they also are a fabulous element on Thank You Cards ;)
I stamped the Thank You sentiment from Four You stamp set in Whisper White Craft Ink and then set it aside to dry. The DSP here is from Sweater Weather and from the Thankful Tablescape Kit. The leaf die cut on the inside of the card is one of the embellishments form the Thankful Tablescape Kit, too.
