Pals Featured Artist & Day of Gratitude
Today's challenge at Pals Paper Arts is a sketch challenge. Check out the sketch and all the great creations by the design team here and play along!
I chose Stampin'Up!s Day of Gratitude stamp set available in the new Holiday Mini Catalog for the challenge. I also choose to use a lot of different textures in creating this card.
The leaves were stamped onto Stampin'Up!s beautiful Textured Card Stock and then cut out. The Top Note Die was used to give me a frame which I dry embossed using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. I also snuck in a small piece of Early Espresso underneath the frame which was embossed using the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.
I needed an embellishment to tie a few of the leaves together so, I made my own. This you could do with most any image. I stamped the acorn onto Textured Card stock, cut it out, and applied Crystal Effects on top. When It dried I had a 3-D acorn!
I hope you enjoyed today's PPA Challenge. See the recipe below for a complete list of supplies used. Feel free to contact me with any questions regarding this project. Thanks for stopping by.

Oh, wow! Gorgeous! Love the different layers of texture, very clever! And of course the leaves and acorns are beautiful...and likely the only ones I'll see this year ;)
Love the way you used the wide ribbon and made it "unwide". Clever!
Martha, this is gorgeous! I love what you did with that ribbon...brilliant! XOXO
Love how you double-embossed the background! Genius and the effect goes well with the fall theme.
Wow - all that texture, perfect for the fall! I love how you interpreted the sketch too with the top note!
I like all the textures on this card. Using the Crystal Effects adds just a little more punch to those acorns. TFS
This is my favorite of all. I love the textured effect and the beautiful colors....
