DCC Challenge at Repeat Impressions- Give Thanks!



It’s another Designer’s Choice Challenge at The House that Stamps Built, Repeat Impression’s blog. It’s Geri’s turn and she is challenging us to make a card that expresses giving thanks. It can be a Happy Thanksgiving card or a thank you card- anything that shows gratitude. You can then enter it for a chance to win some awesome Repeat Impressions rubber! Please visit the blog for all the details and to see the other Rock Star's cards for this DCC challenge. 

For my card I used a lovely Repeat Impression’s sentiment to express thanks (and Happy Holidays) to a dear friend. I love the Peaceful Observation stamp and can picture my kitty looking out a window at the snow just like this one. In fact today she is doing just that! I paper pieced the kitty and her bow and did a little coloring of the window and snow. I cut a frame out of kraft paper and tucked a ribbon in between the two layers. The snowy embossed layer was created with an embossing folder from Sizzix.

I am entering this card in the embossing challenge at Card Mania and the challenge at Sentimental Sundays for dimension with a sentiment.

Stamping smiles, Karen

I have that same stamp, Kathy, and I love using it, but your 'snowfall' outside the window is a fabulous idea! WOW! Gorgeous card.
