Hello, friends! Our theme for IB148 couldn't be more appropriate. We are so Thankful, and Grateful to each of you for spending a bit of your week with us at Inspired By! We'll be especially grateful if we can inspire you to play along with IB#148!!
I saw so many things in our inspiration photo that inspired me. I'll give you a list, then you can see if I've done my job to portray them in my card, okay? Here goes:
- shiplap
- wooden frame
- iron work
- swag
- colors
- word
Here's a little closeup - that shiplap is a bit hidden!
Isn't that 'ironworks' die gorgeous? I really felt bad cutting it up!
I can see so many other things in that photo to inspire a card - but I'll be looking for those things on YOUR cards! Come play!=] Michele
Shiplap: embossing folder [no brand name]
Wood frame: MFT Elegant Rectangle Stax

Wow, wow, wow! I swear you are so good at these inspiration cards my friend! I am so in love with this card and I so can't get over how much it looks like that frame in the inspiration photo! You are incredibly talented, you know?! I love the die you used in the center of your "wooden" frame, that is so cool! The beautiful greenery and enamel dots and the orange "thanks" the shiplap. It is all so beautiful, so Thanksgiving-y. Gorgeous!!!! Hugs, Brenda
