Happy Thanksgiving!

The wonderful gals at SplitCoastStampers still managed to post a “Ways to Use It” challenge today even though it’s a holiday – so of course, I HAD to take a few moments out of my holiday preparations to do a little stamping!

The challenge was to use stitching on a card – real, or in my case, faux.  I just received the newest kit from Paula’s Kit Club and absolutely love the kitschy 1950’s feel of the kit – especially the large woman stamp!

I used the stamp and colored in the image with Prisma colored pencils.  I also used the cherry patterned paper, the black gingham paper and added some faux black stitching around the stamped image (I poked the holes with the paper piercer and then drew in the stitches).

I added a “Kiss the Cook” rub-on, adhering it to Old Olive cardstock.  I tied on a little silver fork and knife with a black ribbon and adhered the whole thing to the card with pop-dots.

All of these elements came from the kit (except for the cardstock) – I just love Paula’s kits!

I think this is a great card for Thanksgiving – be sure to kiss your cook today!
