Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the U.S. I hope it is a joyful holiday for you and your family! I have a joy-filled card to share today for the Addicted to CAS Challenge which is appropriately:
As soon as I saw the challenge I knew just what stamp set would be perfect: “Season of Joy” by Ink to Paper.
I love this beautiful shade of red cardstock which I picked up at the Gina K shop in Wisconsin when we were visiting Sarah in October. Everything on this card came from the same set with accompanying dies. The sentiment was embossed in gold, and the letters for JOY were die cut from gold paper that is backed with adhesive.
The wreath was stamped with three shades of Pinkfresh Studio inks with details added from Polychromos colored pencils. The final touch was to add some tiny red pearls from A Muse that have been in my stash for years. I loved them so much I bought multiple packages when it appeared they would be discontinued. I still have plenty, even though I use them frequently.
We’ll be off later this afternoon to Tracy’s sister’s for the holiday meal. I’m the pie lady, and have three offerings: pumpkin, apple caramel crunch, and a red pear galette. The last two are new recipes, and let’s hope they meet with approval.
Lovely card – a real splash of sophistication!
Have wonderful dinner with your family. I wish I could sample those pies! Pumpkin because I’ve never tried real pumpkin pie and apple caramel crunch, because what’s not to like!
Happy Thanksgiving, Karen & Tracy! What fun to get together with a larger family group! I love your elegant card with that rich red and gold.
Such an elegant card and design – the deep red is lovely with that fresh, light green. Your recipes sound delicious – some of my favourite food words in there (apple, pear, caramel …) – and I am sure they will bring as much joy as you yourself. Hoping it’s a lovely occasion.
This is a wonderful card. I love the red base. The big bold JOY stands out so beautifully and the wreath pops so beautifully. The gold embossing on the rest of the sentiment is just beautifully done. Thanks so much for sharing this beautifyl at Addicted To CAS.
WOW what a beautiful card, rich, vibrant & very elegant. You know my feelings about the word JOY … it’s the word to express all that is Christmas. I’m sure your pies were a hit.
Karen… the red cardstock and gold foil pop and work so well together! Thanks for joining Addicted to CAS this week!
That is a perfect sentiment for the challenge and for Christmas, Karen. The red and gold combination is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Addicted to CAS.
