It's time for another card challenge with Cardz TV. The theme for this challenge is to use the phrase Giving Thanks as your inspiration.
Do you ever find that you have paper you just hate. Well, this card started with the inspiration to use paper I really have never liked for a Thanksgiving/Giving Thanks Challenge. The Thanksgiving paper here always gave me trouble, I felt like the colors were too bland, but I wanted the sentiments of the paper to be clearly visible. I created the card using files from SVGcuts.com. I cut the base, flaps, and layers in shades of light and dark brown and orange. Now, the palette would compliment the colors in the pattern.
The flap opens vertically, and inside I have stamped my sentiment using the Cardz TV Many Thanks set. I also added a few orange Skittles from DoubleClick Skittles.
The funny part now is that I LOVE the paper, and want to use the rest of it on another card.
