I made a few thank-you cards with this Stampendous background stamp called Square Illusion. I stamped it on white card stock with Versamark ink, then heat-embossed it with white, sponging the squares with assorted ink colors. I die cut the panel with a Gina Marie Designs stitched square die, then did the card base with a Lil Inker stitched rectangle die. The black "thanks" was done with a Taylored Expressions die, and the little banners were hand-cut with snippets of colorful dsp. For the final touch, I added some random droplets of aqua Stickles.
I'll share this card with the following challenges:
Dies R Us Challenge #109 - Giving Thanks
Cute Card Thursday #557 - Festive Colors
Thanks for hanging in there with me while I slow down blogging for the next couple of weeks with all the holiday festivities. Life is so busy, I wonder how I managed to keep up with it all when I was younger!?
Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Lovely card, Carol. The way that you've used the background stamp is so effective. xx
That is such a pretty stamp! I love the way you "colored" it with the different colors of ink, so pretty!
I love your wild and geometric rainbow-colored thank you card, Carol! Very creative! You always amaze me with how often you create and blog so now you'll seem more normal if you slow down a bit like the rest of us! I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving!
