Welcome to InKing Royalty’s October Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are enjoying a year of celebrations. This month’s projects celebrate Thanksgiving, so prepare yourself for Autumn landscapes, warm colors and sweet reminders of all the reasons we have to be grateful this time of year. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
I created my Thanksgiving card using the Celebrate Sunflowers set and the greeting from the Gather Together set featured in the August-December mini catalog. I used the Plaid Tiding Designer Series Paper, but I have to admit even though the suggested color is Cherry Cobbler, I actually preferred the Merry Merlot card base.
I layered a piece of Very Vanilla 4x 5 1/4 on top of the Merry Merlot and added a piece strip of the Plaid Tidings 2 x 5 1/4 to the bottom. I added a small strip of Bumblebee cardstock and colored my sunflowers with our Stampin’ Blends! As a final touch I added three Metallic Gold Pearls.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Pam Morris at Tap Tap Stamp. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!

I love this layout, and that is one of my favorite plaid papers. Your coloring is gorgeous, and everything comes together in a beautiful card.

Your card is beautiful Renae. I agree with your decision to use Merry Merlot for the card base. It goes so well with the plaid.
