Hello everyone ~
I am so honored to represent Addicted to CAS in the 2nd 'Giving Thanks Blog Hop & Linky Party' hosted by Shery Russ at STAMPlorations! Shery was incredibly generous by sending stamps, dies and stencils for us to play with, so I used all three on this card:
For this card, I colored embossing paste, applied it to the stencil and watercolored the 'Thankful' die cut. Autumn colors and lots of texture made it perfect for the theme...To express our gratitude!
Here is my 2nd card:
For this card, I wanted to add dimension with inlaid die cuts, which I did on the sentiment. I used Prismacolor pencils for the basket and apples, and added some Glossy Accents to make them shine. It's hard to see the alphas on screen, so I have included a close up ~
This is a huge celebration with lots of designers to visit on the hop, and some great prizes for you! Below is a link for all of the participating designers...If you visit and leave comments on the stops in the hop by Friday, November 27, you could win your choice of (4x6) stamp set from STAMPlorations! We would love to have you join us for the Linky Party, too! Here are the details:

Bright, cheerful and a little bit CAS too... Love it!
Wonderful card and love the little touch of black.
THese are both beautiful! I really love how the sentiment is on the second card and your coloring is stunning! The vibrant colors on the first one are wonderful! Reminds me of an Indian Summer day fading into a cooler fall night! TFS!
Glorious hot and sunny feel to your first card and I love the contrast of the grey barrel with the red apples on the second. The inlaid sentiment die is so cool. Fab showcase!
Both cards are wonderful. I especially love the sunshiney yellow.
Love how you used the die cut on your card.
Pretty cards! I love the inlaid technique you used!
Lovely cards! Love the Fall Floral Trio stencil. And I'm wanting to try the inlaid sentiment technique - thanks for the inspiration.
Love the flower.
The basket of fruit is colored
so well - great idea to add
the shine.
thanks for sharing.
Love how you did the sentiment on the second, awesome inspiration.
They are so beautiful, Barb!
Beautiful cards .... love how you used the stencil xx
Great cards...but I really love that second card using the thankful sentiment! WOW, just perfect!
Wonderful CAS cards :)
