Itâs my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC883) and weâre visiting Wescover and their Pinterest Board where I found THIS lovely rug.
I stamped, colored and die cut the Thanksgiving greeting w/ a stitched circle die. Since the rug had a lot of diamond shapes on it, I turned the maroon square to form a diamond behind the circle. The leaves and branches were die cut out of some leftover Gilded Rainbow paper I made ages ago. For the background, I die cut the lattice cover die out of white and by chance, found on one of sheets of the Harvest Time paper, the pattern fit perfectly inside the lattice openings. I backed the scallops of the cover die w/ another piece of maroon paper.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog: The Write Stuff

You created a beautiful Thanksgiving card, Julie. I love how you placed the diamond shape behind your circle and the lattice with the paper behind it is wonderful.

Julie, this is a really gorgeous card! Those leaves are so amazing that I had to check out your tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing! I love the background and how your designer paper fits so perfectly, too.
