Edited to add: So honored that this card was chosen as one of the three Top Mouse picks for the November 17, 2012 Blog Hop! Thanks Waltzing Mouse Stamps!
Hi everyone,
My second post for today is a card for the November 2012 Waltzing Mouse Stamps Blog Party! The theme this month is: GRATEFUL. And here is the card that I came up with:
I started by embossing a rustic cream cardstock base with a Cheery Lynn Designs Embossing plate called "Old Parchment". It is one of my favorites! I selectively inked the beautiful tree from the set "Blessed by You" to fit it within the opening of the largest Opera Tag which I die cut from some terracotta tile cardstock. I then added the small stamp from "Seasons of Love to create a border at the top of the opening and to frame the partial sentiment "Thankful for your".
The full sentiment is: We are Thankful for your hospitality and draws your eye through the card from the upper left to the lower right.

Some button twine, some border stamping on the bottom of the card, and a wee border of glitter glue around the opera tag opening finishes off this card which I am giving to my parents who are hosting Thanksgiving at their house this year. I am still working on the place cards but hope to share them on the blog if I have time before the big day.
Thanks for looking at my card! Happy Hopping!
So much beautiful inspiration over at Waltzing Mouse today!
Love it!
