Time out from Thanksgiving cards, although this one was made for my daughter’s boyfriend and his birthday is Thanksgiving day this year.  He loves El Camino cars.  I Googled the image and colored it with copic markers.  I then ran the red cardstock through a brick embossing folder and touched just the top of the bricks with black ink.  I backed the red cardstock with black and cut several slits in both papers.  To keep the curl in the paper I wet the edges of the cardstock and curled them around a pencil.  Looks complicated but really isn’t once you break it down into steps.

I can’t wait for him to open the card.  It can still fit in an A2 envelope with no problem.

Thanksgiving, a time to give thanks for what we have in our lives.  I am thankful for my health and the health of my family.

I created this card by testing out some sponge daubers for the background.  I think it turned out pretty good.  The background was embossed using an embossing folder and I added a little ribbon bow in the corner.

This card could also be used to thank someone.

I no, I no, it may look like I haven’t been making any cards but believe me I have been busy.  First is my give thanks wreath card.  I used my wonderful branch punch and created fall color leaves, then I made the next card using Mylar paper and an embossing folder.  I added the same sentiment to the inside of each.

I may still add something more to the foil card like some leaves.
