PPA 57: Very Grateful Sketch
Welcome to my inaugural post as part of the Pals Paper Arts Design Team. Hopefully, you enjoyed the new look of the site unveiled last week and read a little about me. I will be sharing duties, so I won't be posting every week but hope to participate regardless. This week's challenge was all about the sketch.
The layout just screamed using the new Autumn Spice DSP from the upcoming Holiday Mini. The card using three different layers of the DSP on a base of Chocolate Chip. The sentiment also a sneak peek is from the new set - Day of Gratitude. It was stamped using the new Cajun Craze on Very Vanilla. Using my Big Shot and new Scallop Rectangle die, I then punched out the sentiment. To add a bit of glam, I used Gold Glow smooch spritz on the Very Vanilla cardstock. It's the perfect way to add a bit of shimmer. Just a touch, you don't want to overdue it.
Hope you enjoyed the Holiday Mini sneak peak. If you haven't gotten a Holiday Mini, please email me and I can send one out to you. Lastly, don't forget to play along with PPA!!!

Hmmm . . . I have that little rectangle die somewhere in my stash. You inspired me to find it. It looks fab with the sentiment and I love the mix of designer paper. Thanks for being part of the PPA Design Team! Hugs, M

I love the way that you thought to use the new fall paper to make your card. What a wonderful Thanksgiving Day card. Using a peice of the DP as your main image is a great idea! I enjoyed looking at your blog it is very pretty. Your cards are all awesome.
