I made this card for the FabFri06 and the SCS WT400-Thanks To… Challenges.  Here is the Fab Friday Color Challenge:

And here is my card:

Here is a list of what you will need to complete this card:

• Lovely as a Tree stamp set
• Blooming with Kindness stamp set
• Argyle Embossing Folder
• 1 1/4″ Circle Punch
• 3/4″ Circle Punch
• Midnight Muse 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon
• Stampin’ Dimensionals
• Crumb Cake Card Stock
• Midnight Muse Card Stock
• Stamping Sponges
• Crumb Cake Ink
• Midnight Muse Ink
• Cajun Craze Ink
• More Mustard Ink

I started by stamping the tree line image from the Lovely as a Tree stamp set in Midnight Muse on Crumb Cake card stock.  Then I punched a 3/4″ circle from a Post-It Note and placed the Post-It over the tree line image where I wanted the sun and sponged the sun in More Mustard.  I placed the circle punch over the sponged sun and sponged the rest of the sky in Cajun Craze.  Then I lightly sponged Midnight Muse over the lower part.  I also took my Midnight Muse Stampin’ Write Marker and used the fine point to extend out the grass area a bit to the edges of my paper.  Then I ran my background sheet of Crumb Cake card stock through the Big Shot with the Argyle Embossing folder and I sponged Crumb Cake ink around the edges.  I adhered the tree line image directly to the embossed background.  Then I tied a knot using two pieces of Midnight Muse 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon and attached that on the lower part of the background.  I stamped the Thank You sentiment from the Blooming with Kindness stamp set in Midnight Muse on Crumb Cake card stock and I punched it out using the 1 1/4″ Circle Punch.  I lightly sponged the edges with Midnight Muse and placed it over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere it.

Kept it pretty clean and simple today.  Wanted to also say a big THANK YOU to all of our veterans today!
