Papertrey Ink Throwback Thursday {Grateful}

Happy Halloween, friends! I hope you all have a safe and frightfully fun evening filled with Tricks and Treats! As the "spooky season" comes to a close, our thoughts turn to gratitude as Thanksgiving draws near. I chose to revisit the charming Fence Line: Autumn stamp set to create a seasonal card of thanks for this week's Papertrey Ink Throwback Thursday feature!

To begin this fun design, I die cut all of the pieces using the Fence Line: Autumn die collection and got to work inking them up. Once that was done, I set them aside to work on the other design elements included on this card.

The card base is a 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inch top folding A2 card base cut from Dark Indigo cardstock. I added a scallop piece that was die cut using the Scallop Stackers: Medium die collection out of Prairie Grass cardstock using foam squares for dimension.

I used Enchanted Evening ink and a blending brush to add the ink around the perimeter of a 3 3/4 inch by 5 inch piece of Linen Cardstock. I really love ink blending on this cardstock because it brings out the lovely texture!

I rounded the corners and stamped the "grateful" sentiment in black using the You Made My Day stamp set at the bottom. I also die cut the Shape Shifters: Circle 3 die out of Linen Cardstock. I used a circle die cut to add the blended portion to the middle.

I added the circle portion to the center of the card and then got to work adding in all of the stamped and die cut pieces using foam squares. I also added some ink flecks around the perimeter using a marker and a color spritzing tool. A few sparkling clear sequins finish this off! Thanks for fluttering by!
