So, I've been wanting to make a thank you card for my grandfather. Seeing as it's Veteran's Day (and he's a veteran), I thought this would be a great opportunity to make him something that I'd really love to give him! However, I didn't want to use the traditional Red/White/Blue colors, but more something that would fit this time of year! I was inspired by this piece of patterned paper that I've been hoarding, and so I used it two ways:
I used a strip of it to peek out over the scalloped edge border, and then I cut out individual leaves to help make the background! And who doesn't love an owl? I couldn't resist this Denami lovely:
I hope you enjoyed this card! I can't wait to see how much my grandpa likes it!
Let's get you hopping along! Next up on the hop is lovely Pattie Goldman and I'm sure she has something absolutely fabulous lined up for you!!! Happy hopping everyone!

ReplyDeleteThis is super sweet, Kristy! I just love how you created your own background using DeNami images and leaves clipped from that pretty paper. :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card, Kristy! You're so creative to cut out leaves (amazing job, by the way) and use it with some DeNami stamps to make a background. Your grandfather is going to love this card!
ReplyDeleteFun little owl playing in the leaves as they fall across the card. Love it. I'm sure this card will make his day! Thoughtful to think of him on Vet's day. Often we tend to think of those currently serving so it's nice to see the former vets recognized, too.
