Give Thanks - Life is Good!

 
 
Cricut, Doodlecharms, Thanksgiving Card, Divine Swirls, Leaves


 
Here is a quick card I put together for a couple challenges this week.  Exploring Cricut challenged us to create a card using 1 pattern paper, 2 Cricut cuts, and 3 different colors.  The sketch comes from Mojo Monday.  I will also try and link this up at My Creative Time for their challenge.  I used Doodlecharms for the leaves and embossed them with Divine Swirls.  I also embossed my banner with the Leaves embossing folder from The Paper Studio.  My stamps are from Studio 112 and My Creative Time.  Please check out my video to get all the details of how this card came together.

  6. The warm and rich colours make it a beautiful Thanksgiving card. Good luck on your all your challenges, Emily. I too love the Doodlecharms cartridge but very seldom use it though. Need to get it out more often :-)
